Maandblad Verf en Kunst van P.A. Regnault (ontwerp) before 1941

This is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created before 1941, depicting a nude female figure in the foreground and a partially obscured male figure in the background. The lines in the sketch are loose and expressive, giving the work a sense of movement. The composition is simple, with the two figures placed against a background of abstract shapes. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection. The sketch is a typical example of Gestel's style, which was characterized by its use of simplified forms and expressive lines.
