Lot description

Market Scene signed and dated (lower right) watercolor on paper 10 1/4” x 13 1/4” (26 cm x 34 cm) This watercolor painting, 'Market Scene' is a testament to the artist’s mastery of colors and medium. Under the clear blue sky and soft touches of sunlight, the bustling street is brought to life with a warm and lively atmosphere. Makeshift stalls are lining up from both sides of the street, and vendors are tending to and preparing their products. Although his figures are stuck in motion, the piece evokes a lively atmosphere from the influx of people slowly approaching the stalls. The viewers can almost hear the townsfolks’ reverberating footsteps, endless chattering, and bargaining between vendors and customers. Indeed, the artist’s deft hands and colorwork have created a masterpiece that exudes a profound nostalgia for the time that passed. (Jessica Magno)
