Twee vogels 1891 - 1941

"Twee vogels" (Two Birds) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dating from 1891-1941. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts two birds in flight against a backdrop of clouds. Gestel, known for his contributions to Dutch Expressionism, masterfully captures the birds' movement and grace through delicate linework. The minimalist composition and emphasis on form make it a striking example of his artistic style. This intimate drawing provides a glimpse into Gestel's fascination with nature and its inherent beauty.
