A watercolour by Leo Gestel, 'Briefkaart met een tekening van een baai op Mallorca' captures a tranquil view of a bay with sailboats and a distant cityscape, observed from a balcony.
This watercolour by Dutch artist Leo Gestel (1881-1941) depicts a bay on the island of Mallorca. The view is framed by a white balustrade in the foreground, suggesting the artist observed the scene from a balcony or terrace. Several sailboats dot the water, and a distant cityscape is visible along the coastline. The sky is rendered with soft, blended hues of lavender and peach, contrasting with the deeper blues and greens of the sea. Gestel was a versatile artist who experimented with various styles throughout his career, including Impressionism, Expressionism, and Cubism. Although he is associated with the Dutch avant-garde, this particular work displays a more subdued and tranquil quality. The loose brushwork and transparent washes of colour create a sense of atmosphere and light, capturing the serene beauty of the Mediterranean landscape. The composition is carefully balanced, with the strong diagonal of the balustrade leading the eye towards the distant horizon. The figures on the rocks add a touch of human presence to the scene, grounding the viewer in the immediate foreground.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
