Jean van Nieuwenhuyse / Emile Noirot

A somewhat bigger watercolour from Jean van Nieuwenhuyse.

This painter worked in different countries and one of his more

remarkable works he made in Istanbul. That was an oil on

canvas. Depicted here is Amsterdam the Oude Turfmarkt.

The boat that crosses the canals is said to be from shipping

company "Kooy" at the corner of the Langebrugsteeg.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 45 / 54 cm.

And of course the artists' signature that at first glance

appears to be the prefix "T". As for the dimensions of

his watercolours: Most of his works indeed do have

exact the same dimensions. Probably from a sketchpad.

Emile Noirot (1853 - 1924)

A nice watercolor from this Frenchman though

he is more known as an "oil on canvas" painter.

A bit hard to read but the specific way he puts his signature

obviously is there. Moreover, it is dated as well.

His watercolors can't be found that much on the internet 

but the sort of "wild: strikes of paint behind the tranches 

can be seen as a sort of trademark.

Of course other specific ways of treating subjects like 

these have been compared with his works on canvas.

Sticked to a piece of cardboard but that immediately 

tells you the origin and age of this work is correct.
