River landscape - French (1930's)

A lush landscape painted on card and set in a gilt period frame. Should date from the thirties.  Overall size is 14.1 x 19.7”.

Another exquisite oil by Paul Chanéac, a listed artist from the south of France, this time the landscape depicted is more nordic, maybe the Vosges in the North-East. While n° 273 La ville blanche below is concentrating on cloud fomation, here it is water reflection that seems to have interested the painter. 

A peaceful river view in a lush landscape under overcast skies; trees reflecting in the calm waters. Materials: oil on card. Period frame. Surface, texture, aspect: medium layered, "painterly", visible brush strokes. Painting technique: tone in tone impressionist
Condition: excellent

British school – Original vintage watercolour painting,  first quarter 20^th century, unsigned

Two Italian watercolours - British (1900's)

Two subtle watercolours by the same artist and probably executed at the same moment. Both inscribed 'Lago di Garda 1912'. Two different techniques and two different frames. The overall size of the sepia wash at the left is 7.9 x 13.4"; of the watercolour on the right 8.7 x 16.5"

This superb pair makes for a small but delicate wall composition. The imposing Garda lake in northern Italy is one of the most beautiful spots in Europe. The technique and the provenance  is behind the presumption of a British artist.

Two English countryside scenes - British (1920's)

Two small landscapes, the one gouache on board, the other oil on canvas laid on card, executed by the same talented artist and both in their original frames, glazed for the gouache. Overall sizes are 6.9 x 9.0” (gouache) 9.2 x 7.3 (oil).

These two charming paintings in two different mediums can be dated to the 1920's. The gouache to the left pictures a distant country house, the oil on the right a herd of grazing cattle. A sublimely decorative pair (reflections in the glass on the left).

Two peaceful country scenes, the one showing in the distance a country-house, the other a herd of cattle. Materials: two different techniques: the one, gouache en wooden board; the other oil on canvas laid on card, both original framing, the gouache is glazed for protection.

This amazing oil is a work by acclaimed Belgian artist Guy Van Iseghem (1905-?) active in Liège during the last century. The painting should date from the 1930's.  Remarkable is the spatial tension created by the blind alley perspective, reinforced by the extraordinarily deep frame.

This beautiful watercolor is a work by the acclaimed British artist Wallace Wood (1894-1961) and dates from 1929.  The hues are slightly discolored due to age and too much sunlight exposure. Needs  to be hung on a shaded spot. Wonderful overall tonality.

French school – Original vintage oil painting, second quarter 20^th century, signed Stoppani

Pyrenees mountainscape - French (1950's)

A vivid landscape painting on board from the late 40's-early 50's,  signed by the artist and set in a sober period frame.  Overall size is 17 x 21”.

A work by a certain Stoppani, probably Maurice Stoppani (1921-?), French artist known for his landscapes. Depicted here is a mountain range from the Pyrenees; the backside annotation precises the location as 'mountainwards of Cauterets', a well-known town in the area. Interesting is the cubistic rendering of vegetation and architecture. Very much influenced by Cezanne. 

A rural mountain view with mountains in the background and a natural stone dwelling in the front. Artwork: cubist imagery, thin layered oil painting, vivid coloring Materials:

North-African landscape - French (1930's)

A lush landscape painted on board, set in a partly gilt period frame and dating from the thirties.  Overall size is 12,5 x 18”.

This expressive oil by the late Paul Chanéac, listed artist from Avignon in the south of France,  shows a north african landscape with a distant city amidst a fertile landscape. This is almost certainly inland Algeria with the Atlas mountain ridge faintly visible in the background. Far from being arid, the northern part of this former french colony is prediminantly agricultural. Please see as well the Chanéac riverscape n° 314 above.

A white city set in an agricultural undulating landscape, blue skies with cloud formations
Artwork: impressionism, very thickly layered, bright coloring Materials: oil  on layered board.  Period gilt frame. Condition: excellent.

A winter day in Stockholm - Swedish (1930's)

An evocative urban landscape painted on stretched canvas, set in an elegant period frame and dating back to pre-second world war times . Overall size is 17 x 21”.

This quality oil shows the today disappeared buildings that once lined the quays (Stadsgarden) of the most southern of the isles making up the inner part of the Swedish town of Stockholm. At the left we recognize the church of Saint Catherine. The unknown artist has managed to capture and render the typical skies that but faintly light the long winter days in this the most northern of capitals.  A precious souvenir for anyone who has experienced the  Stockholm winter blues!

German school – Original antique oil painting, first quarter 20^th century, signed A. Eger

Coastal landscape - German (1900's)

A precious landscape painting to be dated 1902-1907, painted on card, signed by the artist and set in its original wooden oil-gilt Jugendstil frame.  Overall size is 12 x 13”.

A work by Agnès Eger (1878-?), an acclaimed and listed belle époque artist from Germany. It is a baffling Baltic Sea landscape painting presumably picturing a scene somewhere around the once fashionable resort Sellin close to the polish border, but seemingly at the crossroads of northern and southern Europe (northern thatched roof, southern-like pine trees). Faithful to the Zeitgeist of her time, Eger brings us a dreamlike imprint of reality.Very representative of the Jugendstil movement.

To the right: a portrait by Eger from the same epoch  Junge met Stoffhündschen 

Subject: A view of a thatched cottage surrounded by pine trees and overlooking a distant sea, a perplexing subject and enigmatic setting. Materials: thin layered oil painting on card, elegant original period wooden oil-gilt frame. Condition: Excellent

Room with a view - Swedish  (1940's)

An interesting interior scene from 1948 painted on fibre board, signed by the artist and set in its original natural and unvarnished frame. Overall size is 31 x 36”.

This is a work by Harry Richard Wichmann (1916-1993), an acclaimed and listed Swedish artist. It's an intriguing painting with a highly unusual focus and beautiful Scandinavian coloring. Bordering the abstract, the cut vision invites us to meditate on meaning and scope.

A view of a room interior and a winter landscape through a window. Artwork: unusual framing of the painted view. “Pastel” coloring. Abstract qualities. Materials: medium layered oil painting on fibreboard, simple and elegant wooden original frame Condition:
