Skelet van een paard 1891 - 1941

"Skelet van een paard" (Skeleton of a Horse) is a charcoal and chalk drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The drawing depicts a horse in profile, with its skeletal structure visible beneath its skin. Gestel, known for his expressive style and focus on movement and anatomy, captures the dynamism of the horse's form through the use of loose, gestural lines. The work, held in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Gestel's early interest in anatomical studies, which would later influence his mature works.
