Zonder titel (schetsen van paard) 1925 - 1940

This untitled work, also known as "sketches of a horse", is a 1925-1940 ink drawing by Leo Gestel. It displays three quick sketches of horses, each capturing a different pose, with a gestural style that is characteristic of the artist's work. Gestel was a Dutch artist known for his expressive use of line and his ability to convey movement and energy in his drawings. The sketches in this work are evidence of his talent for capturing the essence of a subject in a few strokes. This work, a preparatory drawing for a larger work, is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a fine example of Gestel's unique artistic style.
