Naakte zittende vrouw met opgetrokken knieën (schets) before 1936

"Naakte zittende vrouw met opgetrokken knieën (schets)" (Nude Sitting Woman with Knees Drawn Up (Sketch)) is a sketch by Dutch artist Leo Gestel created before 1936. The simple black and white drawing of a nude woman is done with a bold, expressive line, typical of Gestel's style. This sketch, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a small-scale work, measuring just 193 mm high by 134 mm wide. The artist's signature and the date are visible in the lower right corner. This work is representative of Gestel's interest in the human figure and his use of bold linework and minimal detail, creating a powerful and expressive image.
