Studieblad met schepen 1880

"Studie blad met schepen" (Study sheet with ships), created in 1880 by Louis Apol, is a pencil drawing that features a series of quick sketches of ships. The drawing likely served as a study for a larger painting or drawing. The style of the artwork is loose and gestural, reflecting Apol's interest in capturing the movement and energy of his subjects. The piece, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Apol's keen observation of maritime life and his adeptness in translating his observations onto paper.
