Albert Pinot - Portrait of a lady on a sofa - Sold

Watercolor by the Brussels post-impressionist watercolourist, painter and draftsman Albert Pinot (1875 – 1962). Pinot studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and became a founding member of the art association Le Sillon in 1893. He had a studio in Paris from 1919, but from 1934 he settled permanently in Brussels, where from 1944 he was chairman of the art circle Société Royale Belge des Aquarellistes. He painted portraits, interiors, marines and still lifes in a virtuoso manner in a post-impressionist, luminist style. He exhibited at Galerie Georges Giroux (1914), and is represented in several Brussels museums (Museum of Ixelles, Royal Museum of Fine Arts). The watercolor is in excellent condition, with fresh, bright colors, and is signed with monogram AP (for Albert Pinot) bottom left. The work is framed behind a thick passe-partout in a simple wooden frame. If it needs to be shipped, the glass will be replaced with plexiglass.
