Signed lower right in pencil: A. Geudens. Albert Geudens was a Belgian watercolourist, etcher, pastellist, painter and draughtsman who was born in 1869 in Mechelen and died in 1949 in Schaarbeek. He studied at the Academy of Mechelen and then at the Academy of Antwerp. He preferred floral still lifes, genre scenes, church interiors, portraits, cityscapes and still lifes. He painted poetic views of old Mechelen: typical corners in the beguinage, interiors there, old buildings and houses. Through the play of light and shadow and through the soft colour nuances he emphasised the atmospheric and somewhat melancholic nature of these houses and neighbourhoods and their inhabitants.
