Twee bloemenvazen op tafels 1891 - 1941

"Twee bloemenvazen op tafels," a 1930s drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, captures the simple beauty of flowers in a vase. The loose lines and expressive strokes of the ink on paper create a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. The composition is simple yet effective, with two flower arrangements, each in a different style, depicted side-by-side. The flowers are stylized but recognizable, and their placement within the drawing gives a feeling of depth. The drawing, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Gestel's mastery of drawing as a medium for capturing both the essence of his subjects and the beauty of everyday life.
