Wielerwedstrijd 1891 - 1941

"Wielerwedstrijd" (Bicycle Race) is a pencil drawing by Leo Gestel, dating from 1891 to 1941. The drawing captures a dynamic scene of a cycling race, with figures sketched in a loose, expressive style. The word "Dunlop" visible in the drawing suggests a reference to a popular bicycle tire brand of the era. Gestel, known for his Impressionistic and Expressionistic influences, utilized quick lines and gestures to convey movement and the energy of the event. This intimate sketch provides a glimpse into the artist's personal observations and artistic exploration of everyday life.
