Beautiful original work by Gerrit Matthijnssens. Technique: Copper, pencil and colored pencil. The 'foam' of the waves is applied with copper strokes and gives a beautiful golden appearance. The use of copper is typical of Matthijnssens' works. They make his works ephemeral because over many years the gold-colored copper will turn green. Based on a holiday photo at the cliffs and the exotic garden in Etretat on the Normandy coast. The work is beautifully floating framed with a double passe-partout, natural frame.
