Anton Pieck / Marcel Praet / Prague

For the Anton Pieck lovers a rather unusual watercolor

as Pieck's work mostly is known being meticulously

executed. This is a rough sketch and he mostly didn't

even collected them. Thanks to a friend of him, these

drawings and watercolors still can be seen at the Anton

Pieck museum in Hattem (The Netherlands)

But the posture of this woman figure is typical for

Anton Pieck as is this subject, most likely Amsterdam.

This work was a study for a calender that in certain

times were published each year.

The monogram with that strange small "hook" at

the bottom of the right leg of the prefix "A".

Another example of his rough studies. A pure

estimate of this work not taking the fame of the

maker into account wouldn't be that high but being

a genuine Anton Pieck, things are becoming into

another league.

Marcel Praet

This watercolour shows the exquisite workmanship

of this contemporary belgium artist. Marcel Praet 

is at this moment retired professor at an Art Academie 

near Antwerp (Belgium) Apart from his great skills, 

Marcel is a friendly and endearing personality we 

were able to meet an a vernissage. Work on paper. 

Dimensions: 30 / 40 cm.

Prague

We were able to buy some watercolours of which this one

was our goal. Most possible made by an unknown street

artist but this one hits the nail exactly: With simple spots

The statues on the right have been done and the same

counts for the lamppost on the left. The view as a whole

from beneath gives the scenery an unexpected extra.

Work on paper. Dimensions: 18 /26 cm.
