Egel 1934 - 1936

"Egel," a 1934-1936 lithograph by Dutch artist Leo Gestel (1881-1941), depicts a hedgehog in a minimalist style. The intricate detail of the hedgehog's spines is achieved through fine lines, creating a sense of both delicacy and strength. The artwork's simple composition and use of black ink against a light background create a striking contrast, highlighting the subject's form. This print is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
