Virginia Berresford

City Waterfront
1933

A woodcut print featuring a stylized, high-contrast depiction of a seascape with waves in the foreground and a strip of buildings along the horizon. The image is dominated by dark, curving lines that create the texture of the water, with a lighter area suggesting foam or a breaking wave. The buildings are simplified and blocky, with minimal detail. The print is signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
