This is 7 original pieces by the French Fauvist painter Albert Marquet (1875-1947).
They are all on thin paper. They have no borders; the borders you see were added after scanning.
They were acquired in 1951 and have been stored in a photo album ever since. They are in perfect condition.
Valuation is based on 2021 auction results.
They are:
1. Watercolour, 3 ¾" x 4 5/8"
2. Watercolour, 4 ½" x 3 ¾"
3. Watercolour, 4 1/8" x 4 ¼"
4. Ink, 3 ½" x 5 ½"
5. Ink, 4 ¾" x 3 ½", no signature
6. Ink, 5" x 3 ½"
7. Ink, 4 7/8" x 3 ½"
Photo 8: I also attach a scan of the back of one; all are the same—someone wrote the name 'Marquet' on the backs of all of them.
