Studieblad met kudde paarden 1891 - 1941

"Studie blad met kudde paarden" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1891 and 1941 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. This simple, yet elegant, piece depicts a herd of horses in gestural lines, showcasing Gestel's skill at capturing movement. The sketch-like quality of the artwork suggests it was likely a study for a larger work. The piece, measuring 210 mm by 260 mm, is a testament to Gestel’s artistic journey, highlighting his interest in animal forms. The use of a light and thin line in the drawing creates a sense of fluidity and energy, making it a compelling example of Gestel's unique style.
