The subject is the draft scale painted on the hulls of ships: raised white numbers up to the 8-meter mark, the blue hull above, red antifouling paint below, and rust streaks in between. The trapezoidal format echoes the shape of a ship's bow.

The texture is thick: coatings, worn layers of paint, scratches. It resembles a real piece of hull plating from a boat at the dock, inspired by Breton ports.

The artwork is signed with the monogram GLR in the lower right corner and titled, signed, and dated on the back. The panel is mounted on a fir wood frame and is ready to hang.

It would look great in an entryway, an office, or a seaside home.
