Featured 1957 Watercolour ID-help

Hi all,please let me know what you think about this little watercolour painting of a typical cape dutch homestead. Any guesses as to the artist’s signature would be appreciated (still trying to figure it out) Surname Coan? It’s 40x51cm. Thanks for any help

 

Or Coen, a Dutch name.

Charming watercolour.

 

Charming. I see Nevins Coan.

Could be Coin, with the dot above the surname:
The surname Coin has multiple independent origins across Europe, most commonly functioning as an English/Scottish variant of Coyne.

I'd call this a pen and ink with watercolor wash, and very well done. Confident strokes and loose pen and ink marks, no mud, and captures the quality of light of the day.

 

Yes. The artist accomplished what he set out to do.

Thanks for the reply and suggestion AJ. I will search

 

Thank you Debora,appreciate the comment. I will have a look.

 

Thank you for your reply and comments. Glad to hear you think it’s ‘good’ . Didn’t consider Coin and didn’t note the ‘dot’ before..

 

I agree...... crisp and clean strokes.....

 

Thanks Komo..

 

the way the mat is cut & outlined , suggests the artist framed it themselves...

 

Good eyes! Yes, doesn't look like a professional effort.

12 years I worked with framers in collaboration , framing prints and paintings....

I would not have accepted this one....

 

True. But, if done by the painter and an amateur effort, adds to the work's charm.
