Marvelous Early to Mid-20th Century Owl Monkey Pointillism Drawing / Painting

About the Item

A rare work of art that lifts your spirit. The technique of drawing or painting a picture with thousands of dots (or points) is known as "pointillism". Finding old works of art in this difficult and extremely time consuming technique is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Also, because only very few artists mastered this difficult & time consuming technique. You can imagine our excitement when we were given the opportunity to acquire this one of a kind 'work of wildlife art' in this difficult and rare technique. This truly endearing owl monkey in its vibrant colors simply is to die for. It is cuddled up against a branch and his kind and curious eyes are staring right at you. Mind you, there is not a single line drawn here, they are all dots. We think they are pencil dots and they are on paper. Where on earth one would have to start 'drawing', we have no idea, but it must have taken the artist at least a few weeks to create this piece. We cannot find anything about the artist (H. Martens), but this piece is too good to be the work of a 'one day fly'. The typical Dutch frame dates from 1950-1960 and this work of art was either created during that period or it was made around the turn of the century (1900) and reframed in 1950-1960. This sizable, striking and timeless work of art can be enjoyed in all kinds of interiors. It will make a great talking piece and this unique, pointillism owl monkey will always bring a smile to your face. Our price for this work of art includes perfect packing & worldwide delivery from our store to your door in 4 days. Maximum height x width including the frame: 32.9 x 26.8 inches. Height x width without the passe partout: 24.8 x 19.1 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for stylish yet practical and for craftsmanship of years gone by. Your purchases will be extremely well packaged and we look forward to serving you (again). You can shop all our 900+ listings by pushing the button that reads 'View All From Seller'.

  • 1924 Propaganda Style Art Deco Drawing Switzerland and French Revolutionary Wars
    By J. Nusink
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Unique and original work of art about the history of Switzerland and France. This impressive and powerful work of art is definitely unique and interesting for many reasons. First of all, the style in which this charcoal drawing (with patches of watercolor) was made, is typical of the era and a joy to look at. Secondly, the posters of this era are rare and sought after, so to find an original drawing makes this antique extra desirable. Thirdly, the powerful male and female figure show a kind of determination that is often found in propaganda posters from this era, but the quality of the execution lifts it to another level. Fourthly, if you read about the French revolutionary...
