Ornament met twee zittende figuren c. 1928

This pencil sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet, dated circa 1928, features two seated figures, likely a study for a larger work. The artist's minimalist lines emphasize form and volume, capturing the essence of the human figure. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of Cachet's prolific output as a draftsman and painter. The quick and gestural strokes of the artist's pencil give a sense of immediacy and informality to the composition, characteristic of sketching and drawing. The placement and positioning of the two figures create a sense of intimate dialogue.
