This impressive and oversized Delft Blue wall charger was crafted by the renowned Royal Sphinx (Petrus Regout) manufactory in Maastricht, Netherlands. At a magnificent 15.5 inches in diameter, the central scene features a masterful riverside landscape after the celebrated Dutch painter Louis Apol (1850–1936). Apol, a prominent figure of the Hague School, was famous for his atmospheric depictions of the Dutch countryside, capturing a poetic sense of light and space. Framed by a lush floral border, this substantial piece combines the heritage of Dutch fine art with the masterful ceramic tradition of Maastricht.

His work is characterized by a deep connection to nature and a remarkable ability to convey silence and atmosphere. In the late 20th century, Royal Sphinx honored his legacy by reproducing his iconic compositions on large-scale ceramics.
