Nieuwjaarswens voor 1904 van Leo Gestel 1889

This black and white print by Leo Gestel is a New Year's greeting for 1904. Two nude figures stand within an elaborate floral frame holding a branch with the dates 1903 and 1904. The figures and ornate decorations create a sense of symbolism and are characteristic of the Art Nouveau style, popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, is a small piece, measuring only 144 mm in height and 108 mm in width.
