Vrouwenhoofd 1891 - 1941

"Vrouwenhoofd" (Woman's Head) is a pen and ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dated between 1891 and 1941. The artwork depicts a simplified, stylized rendering of a woman's head, likely based on a classical sculpture. The use of crosshatching and dense lines creates a sense of volume and texture. Gestel's distinct style, often characterized by bold outlines and expressive mark-making, is evident in this work, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
