Joseph Pierre Nuyttens

South Branch Canal, Chicago

Josef Pierre Nuyttens's original watercolor depicts the South Branch Canal, Chicago. Although Nuyttens's watercolor is undated, the appearance of the automobiles, the draw bridges and the warship within the canal all point to the period of time immediately after the Second World War. It is thus an important historic and artistic record of Chicago during this era. This original watercolor is painted upon board and with full margins and signed by Joseph Nuyttens in the lower right corner. It is a fine, original example of the Chicago landscape art created by the Belgian / American artist, Joseph Pierre Nuyttens.
