Studieblad met schepen 1880

"Studie blad met schepen" is a pencil drawing on paper by Dutch artist Louis Apol, created in 1880. It features several sketches of sailing ships in different angles, showcasing Apol's interest in capturing the movement and form of these vessels. The loose and gestural lines suggest a quick study, perhaps made from observation or memory, revealing Apol's artistic process of sketching and capturing the essence of his subjects. This work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Apol's artistic practice and his fascination with maritime themes.
