Decoratief ontwerp met gekroonde W omringd door personen 1874 - 1945

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made this design with ink on paper, but when? I'm not sure! I love the way the graph paper peeks through, as if the design is emerging, almost accidentally. The artist let the ghost of the grid show. The ink varies from dense black to barely-there washes, giving depth to the composition. Look at the way the ink pools and bleeds around the figures. It gives a feeling of movement, like a dance of forms. Those loose washes create these wonderful fluid shapes, really bringing the figures together. The crowned "W" in the center seems both supported and surrounded by the people around it. It reminds me of Hilma af Klint’s early drawings—searching for forms, finding connections between the seen and unseen. This piece invites us to see art as a process of discovery, full of potential rather than fixed meaning.
