Maandblad Verf en Kunst van P.A. Regnault (ontwerp) before 1941

This is a preliminary sketch by Leo Gestel, a Dutch painter and graphic artist. It is a design for a drawing that was to be published in the magazine "Verf en Kunst." Gestel is known for his expressive style of painting, and this drawing reflects his artistic approach. The design depicts two figures, a man with a bucket in his left hand and a woman holding a trumpet in her right hand. The composition is simple, but the linework is gestural and fluid, capturing the movement and energy of the figures. It is a testament to the creative process of a master artist and offers insight into the evolution of an artwork.
