Est: €2,000 - €3,000
Jacobus van Looy (1855-1930) A water carrier in Tangier pencil and pastel on paper, 24,5x27 cm Provenance: -From the collection of family of the artist. From a very young age, the painter/writer, Jacobus van Looy, one of the members of a radical and influential group known as the ‘Tachtigers’, or ‘Movement of Eighty’, travelled profusely, both in his homeland and abroad. At just 29 years of age he won the coveted Prix de Rome. This allowed him the privilege of being able to travel through Italy and Spain for a good two years. He travelled to Morocco for the first time in 1886, where he was totally overwhelmed by all the different impressions he got just walking through the streets. When he returned for a second time in 1902, he arrived more prepared. As well as paper, charcoal and a pencil, he took along chalk, crayons, water paints and oil paints. He mainly stayed in and around Tangiers and he made dozens of sketches – his appetite for work was huge. He painted Orientals, beggars, children, cityscapes. Jacobus found a new motif in the water carriers of Tangier. He dedicated a whole series of drawings and pastels to them. These are some of the best works that he produced in Morocco. The water carrier offered in auction now would have been drawn during this second stay. The work has always been kept in the family, passed on from one generation to the next. Please compare to this work to a similar water carrier in Tangier on the cover of the book by Esther Scheepers . Source: E. Scheepers, Chr. Will, ‘Looy met den noorderzon, weg!!

PROVENANCE The artist's estate, Sale on the Premises, Paul Brandt N.V., Haarlem, 25 January 1949, where acquired by family of the present owner. LITERATURE Schilderijen en Teekenwerk van Jacobus van Looy in het Huis van Looy te Haarlem, 1934, p. 9. J. van der Smit-Meijer a.o., Jacobus van Looy 1855-1930, 'Niets is zoo mooi als zien...', Zwolle/Haarlem, 1998, no. 146, p. 163, ill. EXHIBITION Haarlem, Museum Huis van Looy, 1934-1948. Haarlem, Frans Halsmuseum, Jacobus van Looy 1855-1930. 'Niets is zoo mooi als zien...', 19 December 1998-7 March 1999, cat.no. 146. NOTES Thirty years after Van Looy's departure from Haarlem (having lived in Amsterdam from 1877-1894 and consecutively in Soest until 1907) the gifted artist, both painter and writer, returned to his place of birth together with his wife Titia van Gelder in October 1907. After the death of Titia's father, a wealthy industrialist, the Van Looy's could afford to have a house built on the Kleine Houtweg which included a studio. During the first years of their residence there, Van Looy created the present lot in the quiet and sheltered atmosphere of his garden. It is clear that flowers were a constant source of inspiration to the artist. At the end of his Amsterdam period he created an impressive work -both in size and abundance of colour- of nasturtium. After his move to Soest, his preference for big canvases still evident, nasturtium remained a recurring theme next to delphinium and poppies. The present lot is typical for his Haarlem period: next to children's portraits, he created still lives with fruit and flowers, which were modest in size. At that time Van Looy had ceased to sell his artwork, but merely used his work for the decoration of his own house. In accordance with the style of the day Van Looy's house was decorated in a dark and distinguished manner. Works like the present lot lent some colour and light to the artist's home. To enhance this effect many works were framed in a simple gold coloured oak frame, of which the present lot is a good example. After Van Looy's death in 1930 his wife Titia ordered three small exhibition rooms to be built in the backgarden, where from 1934 the beautiful collection was on view for public: museum 'Huis van Looy'. Nine years after the death of Titia the collection was offered at auction. We are grateful to Drs Joyce van der Smit for writing the catalogue note.

In a letter to his teacher Auguste Alleb‚ he enthousiastically described his impressions as follows: "'t Zijn allemaal schilderijen ook van kleur, komt me voor. Dan weer vrouwen die hun zondag doorbrengen al keuvelend op de graven van mannen of familiebetrekkingen, bij mekaar gehurkt als spooksels op een mooie grond tussen stekelige alo‚'s." (See R.
