Schip, mogelijk de Willem Barents 1880

This pencil sketch, titled "Schip, mogelijk de Willem Barents," is by Dutch artist Louis Apol, dating back to 1880. The drawing captures a ship at sea, the artist's loose lines suggesting a dynamic, possibly turbulent scene. While the subject's identity is not certain, the title suggests it could be the Willem Barents, a Dutch ship known for its explorations of the Arctic. The work resides in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into Apol's stylistic approach and his interest in maritime subjects.
