Vignet voor biografie van Gestel door Prof. W. van der Pluym 1935 - 1936

"Vignet voor biografie van Gestel door Prof. W. van der Pluym" is a black and white ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1935 and 1936. The artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a landscape with simplified forms and fluid lines. The minimalist approach showcases Gestel’s unique style, often characterized by gestural strokes and an emphasis on capturing the essence of the subject rather than photographic detail. This vignette was created for a biography of Gestel written by Professor W. van der Pluym. The artist's signature style is evident in the expressive lines that evoke a sense of movement and dynamism. The artwork's small dimensions suggest an intimate scale, likely intended as an illustration within the biography rather than a standalone work.
