The Sea at the Mouth of the Ebro — Fine Art

The Sea at the Mouth of the Ebro shows water meeting a shoreline drawn in measured black lines. MC Escher built this study of a river mouth from steady strokes on a pale ground.

You get the fine art print with a hanger already on the back. The image belongs to the graphic print technique he used for coast studies throughout his work. A wood frame gives the sheet a clear edge on the wall and holds the line work close to the surface.

The dark wood edge sits against the pale ground without pulling the eye away from the shoreline. It fits a study room wall above a desk. From the desk you see the steady lines first, and the soft paper ground last.
