Twee grazende paarden 1891 - 1941

"Twee grazende paarden" is a simple yet expressive pencil sketch by Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. It depicts two horses grazing, their forms rendered with delicate lines and subtle shading. The composition, with its emphasis on line and contour, evokes a sense of movement and life. The sketch, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into Gestel's artistic process and his mastery of capturing the essence of his subjects. The small scale and unfinished quality of the work adds to its charm and intimacy, making it a captivating example of the artist's unique style.
