Virginia Berresford

The Wave
1938

A watercolor painting with abstract forms and a limited color palette, primarily in shades of black, gray, and brown. The composition suggests a stormy landscape with dynamic brushstrokes that evoke wind, clouds, and possibly a tree bending in the breeze. There are hints of a structure and possibly a fence on the right side. The artist's signature and the year 1938 are visible in the lower left corner.
