Notes
JH Pierneef would return to the Jonkershoek motif a number of times throughout his career and in a variety of media. Smaller examples in casein are notable for their technique in a fast-drying medium that was difficult to master, whilst the Station Panel depicting the Stellenbosch mountain range stands out for its monumental use of perspective. In June 2017, Strauss & Co sold Farm Jonkershoek with Twin Peaks Beyond, Stellenbosch for a world record price. The present lot features a similar geometric treatment of this motif in charcoal and watercolour.
Provenance
Gifted by the artist to the current owner's grandfather.
