pastel drawing

Pastel drawing on paper, mounted on an olive-green mat board and wrapped in protective plastic sleeving. The composition depicts a sweeping coastal dune landscape: tall beach grass in the foreground gives way to a pale sand beach curving along a bay of deep teal-green water with breaking whitecaps, and two dark, rounded headland or hill formations rise in the distance under a pale blue sky. The piece is titled in handwritten lettering beneath the image, « LES ÎLES-DE-LA-MADELEINE, » and bears a small monogram signature (appears to read « E.J.K. » or similar) in the lower right corner of the image.

The work depicts a characteristic dune-and-headland coastal scene of the Îles-de-la-Madeleine, likely drawn by a local or visiting artist as a landscape study of the archipelago.
