Untitled (Mountain Island Monk)
c. 1935–1945

A vibrant painting depicting a rocky seaside landscape at sunset with dynamic brushstrokes capturing the movement of the waves and the warm glow of the sky. The central focus is a large, craggy rock formation jutting out into the sea, with the sun's reflection on the water enhancing the scene's serene yet powerful atmosphere. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom left corner.
