William DEGOUVE de NUNCQUES (Monthermé, 1867 - Stavelot, 1935) Snowy Landscape Pastel on round blue paper Signed with the initials 'WD /de / N' on the right Bears a wax stamp on the reverse Diameter: 22 cm In a metal, wood and leather frame On the back part of a label with "mystique" and wax seal Snow landscape, pastel on blue paper, signed, by W. Degouve de Nuncques D. 8.66 in. Provenance: Gérard Lévy Collection; Then by descent Elegantly framed, our small circular pastel conveys all the singularity of William Degouve de Nuncques's landscapes. Imbued with symbolism, the Belgian artist presents a winter landscape, focusing on snowy branches with decorative curves and a few black birds. The birds are only hinted at in a few black patches that contrast with the chromatic harmony of blues and whites, treated in the artist's own subtle divisionism.
