This Large framed and signed poster titled "skimming the waves" by Ikki Matsumoto depicts a pelican flying low over breaking waves, it has a very zen like quality and you can see a Japanese ascetic shining through. I think this might have faded over time as it is tones of pale blue- if it has it has done so evenly. The soft pallet is very delicate and calming. The artist has signed the print in the right corner along with his signature stamp. Such a lovely picture, ready to hang
The measurements are
67 cm tall x 75.5 cm wide x 2 cm deep
