We are delighted with the opportunity to add this vibrating composition to our gallery. Painted with great skill and subtlety for collor hue, wich is beautufly combined from purple blue sky, to a contrast of rocky and bushy coast. Executed in 1862, this piece is in perfect condition, presented in a beautiful original hand crafted frame.
