Scene on the shore at Scheveningen, after Isack Van Ostade

Jai Redman 1971

Summary

A greetings card, purchased from the gallery shop, featuring a printed image of a detail from Scene on the shore at Scheveningen, by Isack Van Ostade. The image has been overpainted with a risen sea, and the men walking on the beach in the original image are instead wading precariously through a flood. This is a vision of the future when man-made global heat death has destroyed our stable climate.
