Rechthoek met golven en een vis Possibly 1940 - 1945

This preliminary sketch for a painting, "Rechthoek met golven en een vis", was made by the Dutch artist Leo Gestel in the early 1940s. It is a preparatory drawing on paper, done in pencil, that shows a simplified composition of a fish swimming in wavy water. Gestel, known for his colorful and expressive style, sought to capture the essence of the subject in a geometric and minimalistic manner. The drawing is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, offering insight into the artist's creative process.
