"Vervallen Russische grafkruisen op Wrangeleiland in de Kruisbaai, Nova Zembla" is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Louis Apol. The simple yet evocative drawing depicts a cluster of weathered wooden crosses, likely grave markers, on a desolate landscape. Apol, known for his landscapes and seascapes, captures the starkness of the Arctic environment. This sketch, created during a voyage to Nova Zembla in 1880, offers a glimpse into the harsh reality of life in the Russian Arctic and the enduring presence of human remains.
