Paarden van verschillende kanten 1891 - 1941

"Paarden van verschillende kanten" (Horses from different sides) is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases Gestel's expressive style through rapid, gestural lines capturing horses in various poses. The piece demonstrates the artist's interest in studying animal anatomy, a common theme in his oeuvre. This intimate-scale work, measuring 285 mm by 400 mm, offers a glimpse into Gestel's artistic process and his keen eye for capturing movement and form.
