The right of way - William Lee-Hankey

The crossing captured by a sensitive gaze: William Lee-Hankey's Le droit de passage
The work features a simple yet profoundly lively composition, where the subdued light reveals moving silhouettes on a damp path. Earth tones and soft blues intertwine through a delicate brush technique that suggests mist and the materiality of the ground. The atmosphere is both contemplative and narrative: one feels the weight of the journey and the guiding light. The details — characters, discreet vegetation, and a peaceful perspective — draw the eye toward the horizon with great elegance.
