Bloemen 1934 - 1936

"Bloemen" (Flowers) is an ink drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1934 and 1936. It depicts a cluster of flowers and leaves in a simplified, stylized form, typical of Gestel's expressive and bold artistic style. The work showcases his signature use of black ink, emphasizing the contours and textures of the botanical subject matter. The drawing's small size and intimate focus suggest a personal observation of nature, capturing a fleeting moment in time. It is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
