Item Description
An antique original framed Belgian watercolour painting, depicting a view of Bruges, looking down the Groenerei Canal over the steep rooftops towards the dominating medieval Belfry Tower.
Painted skilfully capturing light and shade extremely well and using the negative space in the paper to great effect.
Unsigned but in the manner of Lucien Frank (1857-1920), with similar examples of watercolours of Paris as comparison and also an almost identical view of Bruges, painted in oils.
Dating from the early 20th-century Edwardian period.
Provenance: previously with Henry Graves & Co. Ltd. 6 Pall Mall, London. Label verso.
Framed and glazed in its original simple gilt frame.
The painting itself is in good vintage order with no significant issues, there is some light foxing on the paper. The frame is in good vintage condition with only minor wear commensurate with age.
Overall measurements: 65cm x 51cm.
