Vintage mid-1970's landscape watercolor of small figures on the famous Santa Cruz Boardwalk Railroad Bridge by Laura Manss Matarazzo (American, b.1955), 1975. This portrayal of the iconic bridge is from a low perspective, and focuses on the crisp light and shadows as they interplay with the linear geometries of the structure. Two tiny silhouetted figures, one on the bridge and one below, give the piece a sense of scale.
Signed "Laura Manss" lower right. Signed and dated 1975 on verso.
Displayed in a silver toned metal frame.
Paper size: 21"H x 19"W.
