Fisherman's Cottage with Boats 1936

"Fisherman's Cottage with Boats" (1936) is a watercolor painting by South African artist Maggie Laubser (1886-1973). The painting depicts a simple cottage with a bright yellow facade nestled beside a body of water. The cottage is depicted with a brown roof, a green window, and a blue door, while the boats are a vivid blue. The background includes a landscape with rolling hills and a small town in the distance. The work is characterized by Laubser's distinctive style of loose, expressive brushstrokes and use of color to depict the South African landscape. The painting, which likely depicts a scene from the artist's native Cape Town, is a testament to Laubser's skill in capturing the beauty of everyday life in a poetic and evocative way.
