About the Item

Paul-Emile Lecomte (1877-1950) La Route de Naudy (The Road to Naudy) Signed lower left (titled on the verso of the sheet, but now hidden by the back of the frame) watercolor on paper 28 x 38 cm framed under glass 43 x 53 cm Paul Emile Lecomte just as his uncle had excelled in the difficult art of watercolor, which, thanks to its lightness, makes variations in weather and climate sensitive. This is clearly visible here An article written by a French art historian, devoted to Paul Emile Lecomte, gave an excellent account of Paul Lecomte's decisive role in his nephew's career. He constantly encouraged him in his vocation as a painter and some very fine letters bear witness to this. This intimate bond between the two artists can also be seen in their works. The more modern development of the nephew's art also enabled Paul to free his touch, following his example and moving towards post-impressionism. What they have in common is a mastery of technique and instantly recognisable styles, as this watercolour shows. Paul Emile Lecomte (1877– 1950). Painter of watercolors and oil paintings, etcher, and engraver. He was the pupil of Fernand Cormon and of his uncle Paul Lecomte. He became Offical Painter of the French Navy in 1921. He painted at the beginning of his career in the same style as his famous uncle, Paul Lecomte (1842-1920) . His first works are often attributed falsely to him as their signature can be confounded. But he soon developped his own style, of which this work is a very good example.

Located in New Orleans, LA
Otto Eerelman 1839-1926 Dutch Concours de Chiens au Promenade Watercolor on paper Signed “O. Eerelman 1904” (lower left) A tour de force watercolor by celebrated Dutch artist Otto Eerelman, one of 19th-century Europe's most popular and important animal portraitists, this charming composition captures a bustling cross-section of fashionable elites walking their equally fashionable canine companions. Eerleman takes care to render the detailed attire of his subjects, complete with plumed hats and layers of lace trim. The artist paints the plethora of pets in equally painstaking detail, capturing the nuances of each different breed represented. Eerelman mastered the art of depicting not only the dogs’ physical characteristics but also their unique expressions and personalities. His wealthy clientele would bring their pets to his home in The Hague where they would live for a period of time while having their portraits done, allowing for a remarkably true-to-life portrayal. This energetic watercolor, with its profusion of color and texture, harnesses the affluence of its subjects and the leisurely whimsy of their luxurious lives. Hailing from Groningen, Netherlands, Eerelman was dubbed the “Northern Rembrandt” during his lifetime. He received his artistic training at the Academy Minerva in Groningen, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and then private lessons in the studio of the great Lawrence Alma Tadema. He successfully captured the attention of the Dutch court, particularly Princess Wilhelmina...
