Mannenkop 1891 - 1941

"Mannenkop" (Head of a Man) is a black ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The drawing, currently in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a man's head in profile, rendered with bold, expressive strokes. Gestel's use of strong lines and a limited color palette, characteristic of his expressive style, creates a sense of depth and emotion in the subject's face. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner, along with the date 1936.
