Luipaard 1891 - 1941

"Luipaard" (Leopard) is a simple yet striking ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dating back to the period between 1891 and 1941. The artwork depicts a stylized leopard in profile, its body covered in a pattern of small, repeating dots. The minimal lines and bold black ink create a sense of dynamism and energy, characteristic of Gestel's style. The drawing is housed in the Rijksmuseum and serves as a testament to Gestel's artistic exploration of animal forms.
