Gezicht op een ijsberg bij mist c. 1880 - 1886

"Gezicht op een ijsberg bij mist" (View of an Iceberg in the Mist) is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Louis Apol, created sometime between 1880 and 1886. The drawing depicts a simple scene, likely a quick sketch made during Apol's travels. The composition features a partially obscured iceberg, its jagged edges and icy surface contrasting against the surrounding fog and water. The delicate lines and shading convey a sense of atmospheric perspective, drawing the viewer's eye to the icy peak. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Apol's artistic process and his fascination with the natural world.
