The paint is thick and quick, every plank and reflection a separate loaded stroke, in the Russian plein-air manner of the Crimean painters. Olga Novokhatska, born in Ukraine in 1979 and trained at a state academy of design and fine arts, has lived and worked in Paris for some years and is known there for her café and street scenes; this early canvas, titled and dated on the reverse, was painted on the Crimean coast in 2007, before her move to France.
