Beyrout circa 1841
watercolor and gouache (bodycolor) on paper
12 x 17 inches, matted and framed behind glass
William J. Muller worked a great deal in the southwest of England. Muller also loved to travel around the Mediterranean basin and a portion of these paintings were used to create printing plates that were in turn used in creating handbooks.
The composition of this work is the harbor of Beirut. This painting has been off the market for 45 years; the short life of the artist severely reduced his art output, making this painting very rare. Additionally, 19th century views of Lebanon are scarcely ever seen for sale.
