Gaetano Esposito

Here, the watercolor has been presented taken it

out of its' encadrement. Then colors are even more

strong and there are no reflections of the protecting

glass anymore. A beautiful piece with a signature

that puzzled us in the first place.

Here a close up from the head of this fisherman

is presented. Click on it to enlarge.

Here still photographed behind the glass....

The bad of the rather thick piece of paper the

watercolor has been made on. Some slight traces

of glue I think but I left it that way as it is not

visible on the front. An extra piece of acid free

paper behind it is always advisable.

Not only the watercolor itself is valuable. The fact

that most likely the original encadrement is still there

is an extra of course.

Presented here is an oil painting of the same artist

and from the same man. You can use "Google Images"

to look for similar pictures on the internet.

Here the description is given but more interesting:

The signature seems to be exactly the same: It starts

with the immediately recognizable prefix "G" and

as is the case on the watercolor, the rest is hardly

readable or maybe even wasn't there in the first 

place. I regard the watercolor here as being

 superior to the oil painting in its' details.
