The Lake

The Lake is an original artwork realized by the artist Robert Naly in the mid-XX century. Tempera on paper.

Hand-signed in pencil by the artist on the lower left corner.

Perfect conditions.

Very beautiful tempera on paper representing a view on a lake with a boat. The use of the color is very smart; the horizon is realized with very light shades of grey. The composition is very well-balanced and the contrasts are very soft.
