A preparatory design by Leo Gestel for the book cover of 'De Kleine Rudolf' by Aart van der Leeuw, featuring a stylised sailboat in ink and watercolour. A charming piece of vintage illustration.

This charming design by Dutch artist Leo Gestel (1881-1941) is a preparatory study for the book cover of 'De Kleine Rudolf' (Little Rudolf) by Aart van der Leeuw. Executed in ink and watercolour, the artwork features a stylised depiction of a sailboat, rendered with bold black lines and washes of ochre yellow. The title and author's name are integrated into the composition, showcasing Gestel's skill as both an artist and graphic designer. Gestel, known for his contributions to various modern art movements, including luminism, cubism, and expressionism, brings a touch of modernist sensibility to this book illustration. The simplified forms and dynamic lines create a visually engaging image that captures the spirit of adventure and childhood imagination. As a fine art print, this design adds a touch of vintage charm and artistic flair to any interior. Its clean lines and muted colour palette make it a versatile piece that complements a range of decor styles, from minimalist to eclectic. Perfect for a study, child's room, or living area, this print is sure to spark conversation and inspire a sense of wonder.

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.
