A delicate pastel in blue, white and yellow resembling a seascape.

Slight undulation to the paper and on the backing board (see photos).

I think this work is probably from around the 1970s or 1980's .

Julius was an American artist from New York and the husband of the author Joan Aiken (Wolves of Willoughby Chase, Arabella and Mortimer etc).

They were friends of the family and this artwork was given as a gift to my mother.

Julius worked and taught in New York, famously having Madonna sit for his classes life modelling!
