An Art Deco Masterpiece in Ink — Oslo, 1926

Drawn in Oslo in 1926 at just 25 years of age, Lady by the Sea is a breathtaking example of Art Deco draftsmanship by Norwegian engineer and artist Rolf Garman Reinert-Larsen (1901–1998). Rendered with extraordinary crosshatching and stippling technique, this ink drawing captures the elegance and grace of the era with the precision of a master draftsman.

One of 3 drawings created in Oslo, 1926, this drawing reflects the quiet artistry of a man whose professional life was devoted to engineering at Standard Telefon og Kabelfabrik A/S — the Norwegian subsidiary of ITT — yet whose hand moved with the sensitivity of a fine artist. Now offered as a limited edition fine art paper print, printed in rich black and white on archival paper.
