Keizer-Alexander appel 1920 - 1924

"Keizer-Alexander appel" is a charcoal drawing by Dutch artist Jac van Looij, created between 1920 and 1924. The artwork is a close-up of a single apple, its round form dominating the composition. The apple is rendered with a soft, hazy effect, while the leaves surrounding it are depicted with more distinct lines. Van Looij was known for his naturalistic style, often focusing on everyday subjects like fruit and flowers. His work often emphasized the beauty found in the simple things. This intimate study of an apple is a testament to his keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects.
