Jongen en meisje met een pop in een haven 1891 - 1941

"Jongen en meisje met een pop in een haven" (Boy and Girl with a Doll in a Harbor) is a black and white ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel. The work, dating from 1891 to 1941, features a close-up portrait of a boy and a girl, their faces partially obscured by a doll and a toy boat, suggesting a playful and innocent scene. The simple lines and bold outlines characteristic of Gestel's style contribute to the artwork's childlike charm. Currently on display at the Rijksmuseum, this drawing showcases Gestel's ability to capture the essence of youth and childhood through his distinct visual language.
