Kustgezicht, mogelijk Nova Zembla 1880

"Kustgezicht, mogelijk Nova Zembla" is a pencil drawing by Dutch artist Louis Apol, dating back to 1880. It's currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a coastal landscape, possibly a view of the island of Nova Zembla, with a focus on the rocky shoreline and distant, hazy cliffs. Apol's minimalist style emphasizes the dramatic natural features of the scene with subtle shading and delicate lines. This sketch offers a glimpse into Apol's artistic practice and provides insight into his exploration of landscapes.
