Christophe Rielland (20th century) – View of a busy port and beach. Oil on canvas signed. Charming oil on canvas depicting a lively coastal scene.

Presented in an elegant antique gilded frame that perfectly highlights the softness of the composition's tones. Characteristics: Artist: Christophe Rielland. Technique: Oil on canvas.
