In the foreground, a large deep green alligator swims through murky river waters, its beady eye full of quiet menace. A row of irregular, jagged teeth can be seen, and its broad, expressive feet give the creature great character and presence — hallmarks of rix’s distinctive, whimsical style.

beyond the alligator, a rusty red and cream paddle steamer makes its way along the river, evoking the grandeur and restless energy of the mississippi river in the golden age of steam. The vessel’s two tall black funnels send pale plumes of steam into a soft grey sky, where darker clouds drift lazily above, suggesting the humid, changeable weather of the deep south. A reddish flag flutters from the stern, echoing the tones of the riverboat itself and adding a note of authenticity to the scene.

the print is presented under glass in a brown, hand-painted wooden frame with a gilt inner edge, each meticulously finished by the artist himself. The reverse of the frame is lined with a collage of authentic antique papers and hand-signed by matt rix, making every piece uniquely personal. Please note that the selection and arrangement of vintage pages will vary, ensuring that each framed print is a one-of-a-kind 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. A timeless and evocative piece that celebrates the spirit of animal folk art and the distinctive craftsmanship of matt rix.

the framed fine art print measures approximately 35cm x 26.5cm overall. It is ready to hang.
