Reisverslag c. 1880s

"Reisverslag" (Travel Report) is a pencil sketch by Dutch artist Louis Apol, dating from the 1880s. This artwork is a simple, yet evocative, depiction of a ship in the distance against a light background. The loose strokes of the pencil suggest a quick sketch, perhaps made during a journey. The inscription in Dutch accompanying the drawing further reinforces its connection to the artist's travels. This drawing, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into Apol's artistic process and his personal observations.
