Original signed and framed mixed media painting on canvas.  
 
Created by Canadian/French artist René Brochard (B.1926) in 1969 in his studio in Mitaka. Perhaps you know the artist?
 
I acquired this from a Russian art collector in Northern California. His garage was overflowing with artwork, and we spent hours looking through his collection.
 
The frame and painting is in impeccable condition considering its age.

With frame: 17"H  x  22.8"L  x  1.8"D
Without frame: 15.8"H  x  21.65"L  x  1.0"D

Boats are pictured by a dock, their forms outlined against a white sky. The blue of the boats contrasts with the industrial feel of the scene, enhanced by the metal textures applied to the canvas. The industrious spirit of Japanese society is palpable, with the boats symbolizing both tradition and progress. This artwork captures a moment where nature and human endeavor coexist, highlighting the harmonious yet industrious nature of Japanese life.
