1950s. Paper, pastel. 26,5x35,5 cm

The medium used for this artwork is pastel on paper, offering a soft and powdery texture that can effectively convey the atmospheric and natural elements of the subject. The flooding of a river can be a powerful and evocative subject, as it can symbolize the forces of nature and the unpredictable beauty and devastation that water can bring.
