- Early 20th Century Framed Oil on Canvas Painting “Low Waters” Signed A. ThiemeBy Anthony Thieme 1Located in Dallas, TXDecorate a study, living room or den with this beautiful and colorful antique coastal seascape painting. Painted probably during the artist's time studying at the Hague or in his travels afterwards down the east coast of the United States circa 1920, the artwork is set in a carved gilt wood frame. The piece illustrates a picturesque little pier in the impressionist style, and is signed in the lower left corner "A. Thieme," the signature of Anthony Thieme (1888–1954). The oil on canvas painting shows several fishing boats with sails hanging moored at a small coastal docking area surrounded by buildings, with people moving about the pier, fishermen milling around on the boats, and seagulls flying overhead. The early 20th-century painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich, vibrant colors; throughout the piece, the viewer gets a sense of the artist's expertise in the rendering of space, light and a beautifully hazy atmosphere, as he was referred to "The Master of Light and Shadow". The painting is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use. The back reads: "Low Waters". Sourced from the estate of a prominent Dallas family. Artist lsted in the Benezit.
