Galopperend paard 1924 - 1941

"Galopperend paard" (Galloping Horse) is a 1924-1941 ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The piece features a single horse rendered in dynamic, gestural lines, emphasizing its powerful movement. Gestel was known for his expressive style, often employing impasto techniques to capture the energy of his subjects, and "Galopperend paard" reflects this artistic approach. The work is a fine example of his animal studies and his masterful command of line in capturing motion.
