France Haute Savoie, Chamonix, Les Drus from La Mer de Glace
Les Drus from La Mer de Glace, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 70 x 50 x 4 cm G10, 2022. Print.
The Sculptural Watercolour “Les Drus” is the usual name for a pyramidal mountain officially named the Aiguille (needle) du Dru that is quite close to the famous Mont Blanc and attached to another very high peak called the Aiguille Vert. Les Drus has two peaks that are close together: one being 21m higher than the other.
In visiting Chamonix’s famous Mer de Glace via the Montenvert Mountain Railway, Les Drus is a most notable feature on the top of the opposite side of the valley, photographed by thousands of visitors. It has suffered rockfalls for more than 100 years, but none as huge as the more recent ones. The most visible was in 2005 when an entire pillar collapsed that had been named after the intrepid 1955 solo-climber Walter Bonatti.
This is a Printed product on high quality 224gsm watercolour paper. It is carefully rolled in a robust cardboard tube and mailed to you. You can read more about printing, sizing and mailing here.
