Schip 1891 - 1941

"Schip" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941 and currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. Gestel's minimalist style is evident in the artwork's simple yet powerful lines, capturing the essence of a ship. The drawing utilizes a limited color palette, relying primarily on black and white, emphasizing the form of the ship against the backdrop of the water. The dynamic strokes suggest movement and energy, conveying the dynamism of the sea and the vessel.
