Studies c. 1905 - 1910

This drawing, titled "Studies," is a preliminary sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, a Dutch artist active in the early 20th century. Created sometime between 1905 and 1910, it is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The work showcases Cachet's exploration of form and composition through a series of geometric shapes. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick and spontaneous study, perhaps for a larger painting or sculpture. The artist's use of pencil and paper creates a subtle yet expressive quality, demonstrating the power of simple lines to convey volume and depth. This drawing provides a glimpse into the artist's creative process and their fascination with geometric abstraction.
