Reisverslag c. 1880 - 1888

"Reisverslag" (Travel Report) is a sketch by Dutch artist Louis Apol from circa 1880-1888. It is a page from a sketchbook, with a faint drawing, likely a landscape, on the right page and some handwritten notes on the left. The notes mention the year 1765 and “Russchen merupter” which may be a reference to Russian explorers, and the “Mangel eiland” (Poverty Island). This sketch offers a glimpse into Apol's artistic process and his interest in documenting his travels and observations. It is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
