Huis 1880

"Huis" is a quick, gestural sketch by Dutch artist Louis Apol, dating back to 1880. Created in charcoal on paper, it is likely a preliminary study for a larger work, capturing a fleeting moment of observation. Apol's loose and expressive lines suggest an architectural subject, possibly a building or interior, rendered with a sense of immediacy. The piece, housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into Apol's artistic process and the role of quick sketches in the development of his more finished works.
