SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST PAUL BOTES WATERCOLOUR - "MELKBOS '76" FRAMED under glass IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINAL FRAME FRAMED: 35cmx25cm UNFRAMED: 22,5cmx13,5cm  

Lovely piece. Regarded as vintage as seems to be in the style of Paris scenes of the '50's.  It has me stymied as regards whether it is an original or print. It is so real that through the magnifying glass looks to be the real thing. It has no pixels. However the only way to tell is to remove from the framing which I am not going to do. Priced to go. I cannot online track this artist which looks like Henry. Any input always appreciated. It measures approximately with frame height 45cm and the length across 53cm. Not unexpectedly a touch of scuffing to the frame. PLEASE VIEW THE OTHER STREET ONE THAT IS ALSO LISTED.

The really exciting thing about this original work is that it was used by the artist Joy Collier to illustrate the front cover of her first book which was on Stellenbosch, and which was published in . On the back is an original typed note by Joy Collier (see above). She writes as follows: "My drawing is now Africana since it was made in before the restoration of the Burgher House, on the right, and the destruction of the house between it and the Kruithuis". The work is a drawing in artist's pen with watercolour highlights. Mixed media. Picture is 27 cm x 11.5 cm. Original frame is 41cm x 29cm. After giving the matter a lot of thought, I believe that the drawing was sketched in but then signed and dated in preparation for the book. This original drawing was used as the basis for the cover illustration of the book, which was published in . The book is not included in this sale. The second hand signature at the bottom was dated , which was when the artist applied watercolour wash paint using the colours white green blue and brown, and probably sold the final original mixed media work with the typed note now found on the back.
