Koeien 1891 - 1941

"Koeien" (Cows) is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leo Gestel. The drawing, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts three cows in a simple, gestural style. Gestel's use of bold lines captures the essence of the animals and their movement, creating a dynamic composition despite the limited detail. This work, created between 1891 and 1941, exemplifies Gestel's mastery of drawing and his interest in capturing the natural world.
