A serene coastal palette blends the blue of the water and the grey of the sky, contrasting with the warm whites of the cliffs and the green of the grass. This delicate work showcases an array of characterful details, from the fisherman mending his net to the people walking atop the cliffs, the seagulls, and the textures of the shingle beach. Andrée Saunier’s work often features shopfronts, landscapes, and animals, all painted in her personal and unique naïve style. This stunning oil painting is mounted in a giltwood frame with a linen slip. See less
