Gezicht op de Achterweg te Hammerfest Possibly 1880 - 1889

This pencil sketch, "Gezicht op de Achterweg te Hammerfest", depicts a street scene in Hammerfest, Norway, created by Dutch artist Louis Apol in the late 19th century. Apol, known for his landscapes and cityscapes, captures the simple beauty of a snowy Norwegian village with a light touch, using delicate lines to outline the modest houses and their surrounding landscape. The drawing's atmospheric quality evokes a sense of peacefulness and the quiet solitude of a small town. The sketch is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a testament to Apol's enduring legacy.
