Unknown Title but worth Clicking for Larger Image (detail amazing)I found this painting in an antiques/collectables store. It only measures about 16cm wide x 12cm high (not inluding frame). I can't make out the artists name and have no idea when painted (maybe 1920's or earlier?).
I am just so breathtaken by the detail & composition. It makes me feel that I am the girl standing there with the wind in my hair looking out at the sea with a sad longing. I can almost hear the cry of the sea gulls, the crash of the waves and smell the salt spray in the air. I feel locked in suspense waiting for that magnificient wave to crash to the shore in a fury of white foam.
This piece not only evokes many emotions, but also catches curiosity with its' mystery girl. Who is she? Is she waiting for someone? Is she sad, lonely, or lost in quiet contemplation?
This piece embodies everything I believe a great painting should be.
