I love the informal balance of the whites against the black and the tasteful grace of the model's pose.<br /><br />I like Ruud Verburgt's paintings very much.

I recognized immediately the one of the couple on the beach, with maid and butler holding umbrellas. I agree with you that this old postcard looks like his style, and I was actually surprised that I did not see it among those pages of his work that I just looked at (and I loved it all).
