Ornament met twee zittende figuren c. 1928

This is a sketch by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet of two seated figures and some kind of geometric form. The artist is playing with line here, trying to catch something, a sense of form and space, with minimal means. I love the sparseness, the sense of searching. You can imagine the artist quickly capturing figures from life, trying to nail their posture and attitude with just a few strokes. What are they looking at? What are they thinking? The lines feel tentative, almost like the artist is feeling their way around the shapes, discovering them as they go. And that hexagon, or whatever that shape is, what's that about? Is it just a doodle, or is it somehow connected to the figures? It's like he's exploring different ways of seeing and representing the world, all on one page. It's a reminder that art is a process of discovery, not just a finished product.
