Wooden Postcard No. 004a

Plot ornament is one of the most interesting genres in Vasyl Krychevsky's work. The sketch of four sailboats running on the waves of the sea is dated 1930 and is done in pencil on paper.

The waves in the composition are placed diagonally and have a volume effect. The dynamism of the composition is determined by the bend of the sails, which are stretched by the wind, as well as the position of the bows of the sailboats, which sharply cut through the waves.

The parallelism of the parts of the sailboat to the waves creates the integrity of the composition, and the combination of straight and curved lines gives the image a meditative character.

The sketch is kept in the Museum of the Ukrainian Diaspora (Kyiv).

The set includes a postcard, certificate, and wall mount.
