Leo Gestel's artwork "Sitting female nude" created in black, white, grey and brown chalk, is a wonderful example of his skill in capturing the human form. In this work, we see a female nude model depicted seated. The figure is elegant and graceful, with flowing lines emphasising the contours of her body.
Gestel's use of chalk in different shades gives the artwork a subtle depth and dimension. The shadows and highlights are carefully applied to accentuate the curves and shapes of the body. The combination of black, white, grey and brown chalk creates a harmonious and balanced composition, with the different shades complementing and enhancing each other.
The pose of the model in the nude portrait is relaxed and natural, contributing to the serene and intimate atmosphere of the artwork. Gestel's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the human form make this work an impressive and timeless piece.
