"Huizen op bergheling" (Houses on a Hillside) is a 1924 charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, known for his expressive style. The artwork depicts a hillside town nestled among rocky cliffs, showcasing Gestel's talent for capturing the architecture and landscape in a simplified and geometric manner, a hallmark of his Cubist-inspired approach. The drawing, now held at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Gestel's artistic vision of the built environment.
