Calm waters, a traditional fishing structure and subtle, balanced light create a tranquil yet visually engaging composition. Executed in oil on canvas with refined control and atmosphere, the work reflects Somsak Chowtadapong’s ability to blend Thai subject matter with classical painterly technique. Signed and dated 1980, it represents an early and desirable work by a nationally recognised master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Somsak Chowtadapong was born on 22 December 1949 in Bangkok, Thailand.
