Vliegende duif 1891 - 1941

"Vliegende duif" (Flying Dove) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dating from 1891 to 1941. The artwork depicts a stylized dove in flight, with its wings spread wide. The fine lines of the drawing and the delicate shading create a sense of movement and lightness. This simple yet elegant composition is a testament to Gestel's mastery of line and form, reflecting a recurring theme in his oeuvre. The drawing is currently on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
