Dieren die inschepen in de ark van Noach 1891 - 1941

"Dieren die inschepen in de ark van Noach" (Animals Boarding Noah's Ark) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel, dating from 1891-1941. The drawing depicts a scene from the biblical story of Noah's Ark, with a procession of animals of various species entering the ark, led by an elephant. Gestel's use of line and detail creates a sense of movement and energy, while the birds in the sky and the rainbow above suggest hope and renewal. This work is currently held in the Rijksmuseum. The drawing is 210 mm high and 260 mm wide.
