Lopende mannen en vrouwen c. 1890

"Lopende mannen en vrouwen" (c. 1890) is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist Carel Adolph Lion Cachet (1864-1945). This quick study, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Cachet's keen observation of human movement. The gestural lines capture the fluid motion of figures walking, with an emphasis on the flow of their garments. This sketch exemplifies the artist's interest in capturing fleeting moments of everyday life, a common theme in Impressionist and Realist art.
