Felix Alois Sauter, Coastal Landscape With Sailboats

Felix Alois Sauter, Coastal Landscape With SailboatsThis early 20th century oil painting by Belgian artist Felix Alois Sauter (1881 1963) depicts a coastal view with sailboats. With loose impressionistic daubs, Sauter captures a busy coastal vista. The clouds, puffed up in impasto, drift above several vessels with sails billowing. A sole steamboat chugs along in grey. The spirit of Summer encapsulated in deft plein air touches. Signed and dated in the lower right and framed. Medium: Oil on canvas
