Jonge man steunt zijn hoofd op zijn hand 1920

"Jonge man steunt zijn hoofd op zijn hand" (Young man resting his head on his hand), a 1920 charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, depicts a seated young man with his head resting on his hand. The work exemplifies Gestel’s expressive style, characterized by bold strokes and simplified forms. The subject’s melancholic pose and the nuanced use of charcoal create a sense of introspection, making the drawing a powerful study of human emotion. The piece currently resides in the Rijksmuseum.
