Catalogue Note

The present lot was painted during the seven years Louis Apol lived in Gelderland (1886-1892). His wife was born in Rozendaal (near Velp), therefore Apol knew the region well. A similar, but much smaller version of the present lot, titled Velp in the snow, is in the collection of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.
