Twee paarden 1891 - 1941

"Twee paarden" (Two Horses) is a pencil drawing by Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941. The drawing depicts a horse in a gestural style, using bold lines and shading to capture the animal's form and movement. This sketch, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Gestel's interest in capturing the essence of his subject through simplified forms, characteristic of his later works. The piece is notable for its expressive lines and dynamic composition, which evokes a sense of energy and movement.
