Twee schepen in een haven 1891 - 1941

"Twee schepen in een haven" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. This small-scale artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, captures the essence of a harbor scene, with its loose, gestural lines depicting two ships in a harbor, the water, and the surrounding landscape. The sketchy and expressive nature of Gestel's drawing reflects the energy and dynamism of the scene, while the use of charcoal emphasizes the play of light and shadow. This work exemplifies Gestel's unique style, characterized by expressive brushwork and bold compositions.
