A compelling and atmospheric original work by the Israeli master Nahum Kook. This panoramic mixed-media piece on cardboard features a rich, layered composition dominated by deep blues and earthy ochre tones. The artist's intuitive process is evident in the dynamic brushwork and textured surfaces, evoking the reflection of a city or a landscape on a misty, rainy day. A sophisticated example of Kook’s mid-century abstraction, showcasing his mastery of mood and material.
