Sea with Boat

Striking oil painting of a sea with a boat on the horizon. Oil on panel, signed.

With the impasto technique Lars Herder is known for, he created a blue and green seascape. The small boat on the horizon adds depth to the painting. Herder worked on the painting after it was framed, hence the small specks of paint on it, which makes it absolutely one of a kind! As oil paint takes up to a year to dry completely, it is common to have some transition of paint to a frame.

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage wooden frame. Both painting and frame may show some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to their charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.

Size: 52 x 62 cm (with frame)
