Description
A row of dark, weathered rocks or wooden posts recedes diagonally across a beach, curving from the lower left into the distance at upper right where the water meets the sand. The lower portion is rendered in warm ochre and tan with rippled grain lines suggesting sand texture, while the upper portion shifts to a cool gradient of deep to pale blue representing sea and wet shoreline, with white patches of foam or light between them. No human figures appear; the mood is quiet and spare. "Remnants," a mokuhanga (woodblock print) by Mary Brodbeck, year unknown.
