Zeilschepen en een landschap met bebouwing 1880

This is a pencil sketch on paper by Dutch artist Louis Apol. It depicts a seascape with two sailing ships, possibly in a harbor, and a distant shoreline with some structures in the background. The simplified, almost abstract forms of the ships and buildings convey a sense of immediacy and the artist's quick observation, typical of a sketch. The artwork is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
