This particular work is an exemplary piece that captures his innovative approach and his ability to blend different artistic movements.

The painting depicts a rural scene of sheep shearers at work, a subject that resonates with the pastoral themes often explored by artists of the time. Gestel's use of vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes brings a sense of movement and vitality to the composition, reflecting the physical labor and rhythmic activity of the shearers. The figures are rendered with a combination of realism and abstraction, showcasing Gestel's skill in balancing detailed representation with stylistic experimentation.

"De Schapenscheerders" is also significant for its historical context.

This work exemplifies the group's influence and Gestel's role within it.

The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and museums, contributing to its recognition as an important work in Gestel's oeuvre.
