Hand met een fakkel en boogstructuren 1939 - 1941

"Hand met een fakkel en boogstructuren" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1939 and 1941. The work, now in the Rijksmuseum collection, depicts a hand holding a torch, positioned against a background of repeating arched structures, likely referencing architectural elements. This design study exemplifies Gestel’s artistic exploration of form and pattern, characteristic of his later works.
