Nile River at Aswan Egypt 1960 — Fine Art

Nile River at Aswan Egypt 1960 shows a long stretch of water with a far bank and a line of trees. The picture sits in the realist painting style, a way of working that Ivan Albright used when he painted places he had seen.

The fine art print uses matte paper, so the water tones stay soft and the edge of the far bank does not glare under a lamp. A light frame on a dark wall keeps the picture clear, or a dark frame on a pale wall does the same job.

It hangs on the hallway wall near the stairwell, where you pass it on the way out. From the top of the stairs you notice the line of the river and the small break where the bank meets the water.
