Park en pond, a 19th‑century Dutch charcoal drawing by Leo Gestel, hand‑signed, with dimensions 51 × 66 cm.
Description from the seller
This is a drawing by Leo Gestel in which a park landscape is depicted, with a boat in the background and various figures in the scene. Leendert (Leo) Gestel (Woerden, 22 November 1881 – Hilversum, 26 November 1941) was a Dutch painter, draftsman, and bookbinding designer, and is regarded as one of the most important innovators of modern art in the Netherlands.
Gestel initially developed a luminist style, which he applied in his early landscapes around Woerden. In the following years he experimented with various modern movements, including Cubism, Expressionism, and Fauvism. His work is characterized by a strong sensitivity to color, light, and composition. Through this ongoing artistic development, Gestel occupied a prominent place in the Dutch avant-garde of the first half of the twentieth century. His oeuvre is today in numerous Dutch and international museum collections.
Dimensions: 36 x 47 cm
Dimensions with frame: 51 x 66 cm
The work is available for viewing at our gallery. Furthermore, Art Dumay runs a frame shop (this year celebrating their 85th anniversary) and a restoration workshop. If you would like to make use of these services, we would of course be pleased to hear from you.
