Presented here our smallest watercolor! 68 / 94 mm.
the artist must have been working with a magnifying
glass in order to be able to put this on paper. There
was no signature and it could have been cut off in
its' history. On the left there is some damage but
furthermore pretty well preserved.

Marcel Hastir
A rather unique way in collecting colours together
to out opinion but it simply matches and by looking
at other works from his hand he stays true to this
choice. The subject is getting something peaceful!
The lines in fact are quite scarce but strengthened
by the colors added they "do their work".
And another detail to observe.
A bit hard to distinguish: The signature. Marcel Hastir
was an interesting figure as besides being a gifted painter
he was active as a theosophist and resistance fighter.
He lived all his life in Brussels and nowadays you are
able to visit concerts in his workshop where there are
regularly all kinds of concerts, between the paintings!
Edwin Hayes
Edwin Hayes is a respectable painter in both oil
and watercolor. Around the year 1860 he made a
journey from England to the Netherlands, Belgium,
France and eventually Spain where he worked and
made a lot of paintings. This could possibly have been
made during this trip as it depicts different
ships at full sea. His ability to catch the different water
moods and colors are present in this work.
Not very easy detectable but present anyway.
His signature changed over time and this signature differs
from those set on the oil painting works. On the other
hand there also is a Edward Hayes who also did
seascapes. We still have to investigate.
Work on paper. Dimensions: 23 / 31 cm.
