Catalogue note

A flock of white geese scatters across a dark, rippling current, their brightness eating into the near-black water. Each bird is stated in a few decisive strokes, a body, a neck, a flick of orange for the bill. Spare and rhythmic, the painting turns a commonplace scene into a study of light and movement.
