Architectuurstudies, figuren en ornamenten 1908

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this drawing called Architectuurstudies, figuren en ornamenten with a pencil on paper. I like to imagine Lion Cachet's process, the searching, tentative marks, and the way he layers different elements on the page. The figures, architectural details, and ornaments overlap and intertwine. Was he trying to capture a fleeting moment of inspiration or working through a complex idea? As a painter myself, I'm drawn to the physicality of the medium, the weight of the pencil in his hand, and the pressure he applied to create those lines. There is a constant conversation that happens between artists across time and place, inspiring and influencing one another's creative journeys. It's a conversation I'm grateful to be a part of.
