Zeilbootjes aan de kade 1925 - 1927

"Zeilbootjes aan de kade" is a charcoal drawing on paper by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, created between 1925 and 1927. The artwork depicts a scene of boats docked at a quay, rendered in Gestel's characteristic expressive style. The composition is dominated by the boats themselves, their forms defined by bold lines and contrasting shades of grey. The rippling water is suggested through gestural strokes, adding a sense of movement to the otherwise static scene. The drawing demonstrates Gestel's mastery of charcoal, capturing the essence of the scene with economy and intensity.
