IJsberg met zeehonden in de Barentszzee 1880

"IJsberg met zeehonden in de Barentszzee" is a graphite drawing by Dutch artist Louis Apol from 1880. The artwork depicts a large iceberg floating in the Barents Sea, with a group of seals lounging on its surface. The drawing's simple lines and subtle shading capture the cold, vastness of the Arctic landscape. The work is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Apol was known for his seascapes, and this drawing reflects his interest in the natural world. The graphite medium used creates a sense of realism, capturing the texture of the ice and the details of the seals.
