Pedro Leitao - Watercolour Figures on Bench

The serenity of this atmospheric image washes over you like a memory. The monochrome palette almost evokes the sense of an old photograph, with a beautiful and delicate portrayal of depth and shadow, reminding us of the drawings of Edward Ardizzone.

Pedro Leitao is a Portuguese Postwar & Contemporary artist. His work has been offered at auction multiple times - since 2007, the record price for this artist at auction is $9,405 for his portrait of Elsa Schiaparelli, sold at Christie's in Paris in 2014.
