The figure strides forward with a kayak balanced overhead, its long form dominating the composition. A single paddle, grasped firmly in hand, cuts diagonally across the base of the kayak, subtly bisecting its form and adding dynamic tension to the image. This clever use of line directs the viewer’s eye and reinforces the physical weight of the journey. At his side, a lone dog follows closely.Provenance
