AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original oil painting on canvas by the Belgian artist René Engelen, titled "Zandbanken".
The work is signed lower right with R. Engelen. On the reverse side there is the title "Zandbanken" and an original studio/address sticker from the artist (Guldensporenstraat 15, Borgerhout, Belgium), which supports authenticity and provenance.
The composition shows a atmospheric, semi-abstract interpretation of sandbanks and water, executed in a subtle palette of blues, grays, whites and earth tones. The work is painted with a clear brushwork and a strong sense of space.

In good condition. Light signs of aging appropriate for the age, including fine craquelure in the paint layer.
There is a very small area of paint loss of about 2 × 8 mm, barely visible and without impact on the overall presentation of the work (see detail photos).
