One watercolor depicts the serene shoreline of Thunersee in the Swiss Alps, complete with scattered boats and snow-topped peaks reflecting in the still water. Its companion painting portrays the softer rolling hills and tree-lined banks of the Scottish Highlands, inscribed Loch Annhe, capturing the warm, hazy light of a late summer afternoon.
Executed with confident, impressionistic brushwork and a sensitivity to atmospheric light, the works exemplify the style associated with the mid-century European watercolorists whose paintings were created for galleries and resort towns across Switzerland and Scotland. The signature Walch appears on various Alpine and Highland subjects from the period, suggesting a regional artist active in the 1940s–1960s, known for lyrical landscapes and refined tonal gradations.
Both watercolors are presented under glass in period giltwood frames with a twisted rope motif. They remain in very good condition commensurate with age and use.
Measures (each): 20.75" W x 14.75" H. See less
