 Provenance: 
We acquired this piece, along with several sketches, watercolors, and oil paintings, as part of a collection. It has previously been inherited within the artist's family. Condition: 
The watercolor is in a very good condition, having recently been treated by a paper conservator. The conservator successfully diminished the visibility of a text on the back, which had previously shown through to the front.
The frame is new and features UV-protected, non-reflective glass. Essay: This watercolor by Hilding Werner depicts the barn buildings at Säteriet (Manor) Rud in Arvika, capturing a serene and almost melancholic atmosphere. The soft tones and minimalistic composition highlight Werner's ability to convey stillness and introspection through his art.
The painting shows the quiet rural life of early 20th century Sweden, with snow-covered roofs and a calm, muted sky. The simplicity of the scene belies the depth of emotion and tranquility it evokes, a hallmark of Werner's artistic genius.
 About Hilding Werner: Hilding Werner (1880-1944), a Swedish painter and draughtsman, is known for his romantic and realistic landscapes, particularly of the Värmland region. His work spans from caricatures to poignant rural scenes, such as this one. Werner studied at Caleb Althin's art school and the Konstnärsförbundet's second art school, where he developed his distinctive style. His art is celebrated for its emotional depth and connection to the Swedish landscape. This watercolor not only showcases Werner's technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence of rural Sweden, making it a significant piece in his oeuvre.

View of the Ovo Castle in the Moonlight, a 19th century Neapolitan gouache
Located in PARIS, FR
Neapolitan gouaches appeared in the eighteenth century when tourism in the Naples area was developing: the discoveries of Herculaneum and Pompeii made this city a mandatory stop on the Grand Tour, the journey made by wealthy Europeans to complete their education. Generally small in size for ease of transport and affordable in price, these gouaches were the ideal travel souvenir that these tourists of the early days were bringing back to capture the idyllic landscapes they had discovered during their journey and to share them with family and friends upon their return at home. The Bay of Naples and the eruptions of Vesuvius are the favourite themes of these views. Here we have a view of the Ovo Castle, which was rebuilt on the island of Partenope, in the middle of the Bay of Naples and about a hundred metres from the shore by the Normans in the 12th century on antique ruins...
