Paard in zee 1891 - 1941

"Paard in zee" (Horse in the Sea) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The drawing depicts a horse emerging from the sea, with its head turned back and its body partly obscured by clouds. The dynamic lines and gestural brushstrokes create a sense of movement and energy, characteristic of Gestel's style. This artwork, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Gestel's expressive use of line and his fascination with the natural world.
