Vrouwenhoofd 1891 - 1941

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head) is a drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The work, held at the Rijksmuseum, is a minimalist depiction of a woman's profile in black ink on paper. The simplified lines and subtle shading of the profile emphasize the subject's features, capturing the essence of the female form in a striking yet understated manner. This piece showcases Gestel's talent for capturing human likeness through expressive linework, characteristic of his artistic style.
