Vervallen Russische grafkruisen op Wrangeleiland in de Kruisbaai, Nova Zembla 1880

"Vervallen Russische grafkruisen op Wrangeleiland in de Kruisbaai, Nova Zembla" is a pencil drawing by Louis Apol, created in 1880. The drawing depicts three weathered wooden crosses, possibly marking graves, on a desolate landscape. The minimalist style of the work emphasizes the harshness of the environment and the passage of time, suggesting a sense of loss and forgotten history. The drawing, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the forgotten stories of Russian exploration in the Arctic.
