On a quiet wall, above a low cabinet, or in a refined workspace, this watercolor immediately brings a sense of spaciousness. The soft haze of blue and orange seems to float like morning mist over a harbor — an image that stands still and yet keeps moving.
This original work by Mary Habsch, painted in the 1970s, possesses the typical lightness of watercolor on paper: subtle, transparent, and layered. The colors gently blend into each other, without harsh lines, giving the whole a calming presence. The metal frame and glass protection give the work a contemporary touch, while its soul clearly remains vintage.
With its dimensions of 46.5 x 29 cm (and 60.5 x 42.5 x 2.5 cm including frame), this is a work that does not dominate, but rather guides a space. It creates connections between color fields, materials, and forms — precisely where an interior needs tranquility without losing character.
A silent dialogue in color and space
What makes this work special is the balance between softness and structure. The harbor — barely sharply defined — invites interpretation. For those who appreciate quality and authenticity: this is an original work from the 1970s, carefully preserved and still in beautiful condition.
For those seeking emotion: the light, the openness, the suggestion of water and air create an almost meditative tranquility.
For those who dare to choose: the combination of orange accents and cool blue tones gives the work a subtle uniqueness — a small “quirk” that makes it distinctive.
And for those who want certainty: this piece is professionally framed, protected, and ready to be displayed immediately.
Within De Tuin Der Kunsten, this is part of a unique curation — not a mass choice, but a selection based on character and harmony. Only two similar pieces are available.
Where does this work come into its own?
In a living space, this watercolor looks beautiful above a dresser, in a reading nook, or as a focal point in a more expressive interior. It softens hard lines and creates a natural connection between different materials such as wood, metal, and textiles.
In professional environments — a meeting room, practice room, or executive office — this work creates a subtle yet tangible atmosphere of peace and trust. It speaks without being intrusive. For those who make decisions in a thoughtful environment, this is not a detail but an enhancement of the space.
This is not decoration. This is an energy object.
