Morning by the Sea (Rice Fields in Izu) 64.5 x 91 cm Lithograph by André Brasilier 79/130

¥350,000

The painting depicts a morning seaside scene reminiscent of the rice fields of Izu.

The painting features a row of trees and an open field, set against a calm blue sky near the horizon and the sea below. Along the line of trees are white, blue, and black horses, galloping effortlessly across the open landscape.

The composition of the painting is emphasized by the contrast between the land divided by geometric shapes and colors and the horse moving freely on it. The vivid colors and lines are impressive, and the painting beautifully captures the peaceful and energetic morning scene in which the horse and nature live together as one.

Through the harmony of the landscape and animals, the artist seems to celebrate the beauty of nature and the cycle of life. The visual rhythm and feast of colors will remind the viewer of a pleasant morning walk and will soothe the soul.
