This charming original oil on canvas by South African artist Ineke du Preez, dated 2006, depicts a nostalgic scene of a child in a pink sunhat playing with a blue bucket and spade on the shore. Executed with a soft, impressionistic touch, the work captures a quiet moment of coastal leisure. The painting is housed in a substantial, multi-tiered wooden frame with a dark outer border and a gilded inner slip that complements the warm tones of the composition. Both the artwork and the frame appear to be in good condition, showing minimal signs of wear and maintaining vibrant color and structural integrity. Ineke du Preez is well-regarded for her evocative portrayals of daily life and childhood, often characterized by a gentle play of light and shadow. Dimensions: 55cm x 47cm
