Watercolour of an Amsterdam cityscape with domed church – signed J. Parson, 1984

Watercolour of Amsterdam – bridge, façades and domed church, 1984

A light, airy watercolour of Amsterdam: from a bridge with green railings and street lamps you look across the water to a row of canal houses with stepped gables, a tower and a domed church. The painter keeps the palette soft, with pink, grey-blue and sandy tones, giving it a wintry, clear atmosphere. Signed and dated ‘J. Parson ’84’ at the bottom, and monogrammed again ‘JP 84’ at lower right (photo 2).
