Schip met een man aan boord op het water 1891 - 1941

"Schip met een man aan boord op het water" (Ship with a man on board on the water) is a charcoal drawing created by Dutch artist Leo Gestel between 1891 and 1941. The artwork depicts a simple scene, focusing on a boat with a single figure aboard against a background of trees and water. Gestel's style, influenced by Impressionism and Expressionism, is evident in the loose brushstrokes and simplified forms. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a testament to Gestel's ability to capture the essence of a moment with a few strokes.
