This fine art print beautifully captures the charm of a folk art painting by british artist matt rix, presented in his signature naïve style. The scene depicts a large dark grey sperm whale gliding through a wavy blue ocean, its tail breaching the surface in a graceful arc.

The wooden frame has been prepared, painted, and lined with antique papers on the reverse by the artist, making this piece a unique work of art. printed on premium 350gsm art paper, the image retains vibrant, faithful colours that reflect the warmth, simplicity, and character of the original painting.
