Jan Bogaerts / Gustave van den Bossche


Alas, a damaged drawing by this artist but
still with great workmanship!
Mixed technique on paper. Dimensions: 35 - 45 cm.



Gustave van den Bossche (II) (end of the 19th / begin 20th century)





Though it has to be cleaned properly we already saw a kind of 
subtlety in this work. Another landscape? Maybe, but the different 
colors green en the brushstrokes to give every detail its own indivi-
duality betrays skills. Work on canvas. Dimensions: 32,5 / 47,5 cm.


In fact being visitors of different auctions we have an art club in
which everybody has his or her own specialities. This signature
was a bit hard to determine. But having a member that always
is ready to examine these kind of "problems" we're lucky to
find the name of this artist: Gustave van den Bossche (II)


Though not a smashing painting, the elements are there
and the subject reminds us a bit of the little waters found 
in the woods in the south of Netherland. Also the 
damages here and there have been repainted.
