A January Evening in the Woods of The Hague

Louis Apol

Painted

1875

Collection

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

The Haagse Bos, the old wood beside the centre of The Hague, at dusk in winter, with a small wooden bridge over a ditch at the centre. Faint evening light filters between the snow-covered trees, and a couple of birds cross the quiet wood. Apol, a Hague School painter who specialised in snowy woods, painted it in his mid-twenties, and it entered the museum collection the same year.
