Naakte man en vrouw aan de kustlijn, omringd door zeemeeuwen 1891 - 1941

"Naakte man en vrouw aan de kustlijn, omringd door zeemeeuwen" (Naked man and woman on the coastline, surrounded by seagulls), a pencil drawing by Leo Gestel, depicts a nude couple lying on the beach. The figures are drawn with expressive lines, the artist capturing the relaxed pose of the couple and the surrounding seagulls, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. Gestel's work, often characterized by a strong sense of line and form, showcases his mastery of capturing the human figure and creating a sense of realism, even in a simple sketch. This drawing, created between 1891 and 1941, is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum and demonstrates Gestel's talent for creating evocative and evocative imagery.
