Vrouwenhoofd en twee paarden Possibly 1891 - 1941

"Vrouwenhoofd en twee paarden" (Woman's Head and Two Horses) is a 1935 pastel drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel. The piece is notable for its stylized, simplified forms and vibrant color palette, reminiscent of the Art Deco movement. The central focus of the work is the woman's head, rendered in a smooth, stylized manner, emphasized by the large, single eye that dominates the composition. The two horses, one blue and the other brown, and a large flower, add a playful and decorative element to the artwork, making it a quintessential example of Gestel's signature style.
