The following two lots (in total 12 aquarelles) was consisting in the past a single collection of original watercolours, all attached on 2nd half of 19th century colour papers. Although almost all relating to the Levant, they come clearly from different provenances. The first collection of 5 watercolours comes most possibly from a local Levantine production (produced by the same painter) and are unsigned as usual. The second collection of 6 watercolours are clearly produced by a Western painter. One signed: "R. W. Weir", one other with initials "R. W.". A set of 5 original watercolour paintings, each 20x15cm, depicting people of the Levant: one Christian and one Muslim lady (probably Greek and Turkish), a Dervich and two Ottoman officials. Style suggest an oriental painter. The watercolours present significant similarities with other watercolours produced by Bogos Tatikian in Smyrna around 1850s, and thus could be attributed to him. Colours bright and typically Levantine, faces of people worked by obviously a talented painter. Black frame around, also clearly seen in other Tatikian productions, some small defects on the paintings from the time (mostly light cracks of the colours or a light browning ,in few places) but overall very good condition. Attached later on 2nd half 19th century papers, frayed at edges. A FINE SET OF ORIGINAL WATERCOLOURS PRODUCED IN THE LEVANT
