Stilleven met appel, pijp en fles 1891 - 1941

"Stilleven met appel, pijp en fles" is a small-scale still life drawing by Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The artwork depicts a simplified arrangement of everyday objects, including an apple, a pipe, and a bottle, in a minimalist, almost abstract style. This piece exemplifies Gestel's fascination with the essence of forms and his exploration of geometric shapes, characteristic of his early works in the period between the 19th and 20th century. Currently located at the Rijksmuseum, this drawing is a testament to Gestel's evolution as an artist, experimenting with new forms and expressions within the genre of still life.
