Ontwerp voor een boekband met bloemmotief 1874 - 1945

This design for a book cover, created by Carel Adolph Lion Cachet between 1874 and 1945, is an example of decorative art from the Dutch Art Nouveau movement. The artist utilized a grid system for composition and a bold floral motif reminiscent of Art Nouveau's organic forms. The use of yellow, blue, and grey tones gives the design a sense of vibrancy and depth, while the preliminary sketches on the left reveal the artist's careful planning. The work, now in the Rijksmuseum, highlights Cachet's talent in creating aesthetically pleasing and functional designs.
