A detailed ink drawing by Leo Gestel depicting a traditional Indonesian Wayang puppet. This monochrome illustration showcases the artist's interest in non-Western art and would add a touch of worldly sophistication to any space.

This striking ink drawing by Dutch artist Leo Gestel depicts a 'Wajangpop', or Wayang puppet, a traditional form of shadow puppet from Indonesia, particularly Java and Bali. Gestel's fascination with non-Western art forms is evident in this piece, showcasing his interest in exploring diverse cultural aesthetics. The puppet is rendered with intricate detail, its ornate costume and expressive features brought to life through delicate linework. The stark contrast of black ink on a white background enhances the puppet's dramatic presence, making it appear almost theatrical. Gestel's work reflects the early 20th-century European art world's broader engagement with non-Western traditions. This drawing would make a captivating addition to any space, offering a glimpse into both Dutch artistic experimentation and Indonesian cultural heritage. Its monochrome palette ensures it will complement a variety of interior styles, while its unique subject matter provides a compelling conversation piece. Perfect for adding a touch of worldly sophistication to your home.

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.
