Drie rennende paarden 1891 - 1941

"Drie rennende paarden" (Three Running Horses) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts three horses in motion, captured with minimal lines. The swift, dynamic strokes convey a sense of energy and movement, characteristic of Gestel's expressive style. The simplicity of the lines and the focus on the subject's movement contribute to the overall dynamism of the artwork. This study reflects Gestel's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects through gestural lines and a simplified form.
