Koeien in de wei 1932

"Koeien in de wei" is a 1932 ink drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leo Gestel (1881-1941), currently housed at the Rijksmuseum. The work depicts a herd of cows grazing in a field, rendered in a loose and expressive style. Gestel's use of simplified forms and bold lines captures the essence of the scene, evoking a sense of movement and vitality. This drawing exemplifies Gestel's later work, which often focused on rural scenes and landscapes, employing a more simplified and expressive style than his earlier works.
