IJsbergen 1880 - 1886

This pencil sketch, "IJsbergen" (Icebergs), by Dutch artist Louis Apol, is a study of three icebergs floating in a sea. The simple lines of the drawing focus on the shapes and forms of the icebergs. Apol was known for his landscapes and seascapes, and this sketch is a testament to his skill in capturing the beauty of nature through his detailed observations. The drawing is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, where it offers a glimpse into Apol’s artistic process and appreciation for the natural world.
