+ OVERVIEW

Eagle by the Sea depicts an eagle flying over a choppy sea which beats wildly against a towering cliff. The artist’s depiction with bold brushstrokes carved out the steep cliff and the merciless waves, highlighting the ferocious scene against the serene dusk at a distance. The composition of colours and brushstrokes reflect the spirit of the eagle and the inner thoughts of the artist, thus showing vividness of the painting.
