Lot description
Joseph Bles, Dutch 1825-1875 River landscapes with barges, figures and windmills; oil on panel, each signed 'J Bles' (lower left and lower right respectively), each 20.4 x 26 cm., two (2). Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: Bles studied under The Hague painter Salomon Verveer (1813-1876), whose influence is strikingly evident in Bles's own work. Bles was a prolific artist, known for his scenes of bustling streets and waterways of Dutch towns, making the present works absolutely typical of his oeuvre. These paintings recall works of similar dimensions by Bles, such as one which sold at Christie's, Amsterdam, on 26 October 2004 (lot 5) for €3,500.
