Bloemen en golven 1939 - 1941

"Bloemen en golven" (Flowers and Waves), a 1939-1941 pencil drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, is a delicate study in line and form. The work depicts two stylized flower blossoms, their intricate petals rendered in delicate hatching, emerging from undulating waves. Gestel's signature style is evident in the fluid lines and expressive use of negative space. The drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a poignant testament to the artist's talent, created during the final years of his life.
