Twee naakte vrouwen 1926 - 1941

"Twee naakte vrouwen" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dated 1926-1941. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, features two nude female figures depicted in a simplified and expressive style. The lines are fluid and gestural, capturing the essence of the figures rather than precise anatomical detail. This work exemplifies Gestel's exploration of the human form through a combination of realism and abstraction. The drawing’s composition, with the figures placed side by side, allows for a dynamic interplay of lines and forms, drawing the viewer's eye across the surface of the paper.
