Painting of a drawbridge with its deck raised on the diagonal, pale planks edged in ochre against a dark sky, a shed with a ladder and yellow-leaved trees on the right, and a blue river carrying logs with a cluster of pink and white flowers in the foreground, work by Robert Bibeau

Lotus des Neiges

A drawbridge with its deck raised on the diagonal, pale planks edged in ochre against a dark sky. To the right, a shed with a ladder and a closed door, trees in yellow leaf. The blue river runs under two arches, carrying logs. A cluster of pink and white flowers floats in the foreground. Signed "ugly 2018".

The painting photographed at an angle from the left, hung on a rough beige stucco wall, its glossy surface catching the light and its edge visible along the left side

Earlier state

The same work, photographed at an earlier stage of its making.

A raised drawbridge on the diagonal in green and yellow, before a dark shed with a ladder and two trees in white blossom, a frozen blue river edged with snow and logs, violet flowers in the foreground, the signature “ugly” at the bottom
