GEORGE C. AULT
City Scene with Omnibuses.

Watercolor and gouache on light blue wove paper, 1910. 270x170 mm; 10 5/8x6 1/2 inches. Signed and dated in pencil, lower left recto.

Ault (1891-1948) was born in Cleveland and later became a painter loosely associated with the American Precisionist movement. He spent his youth in London, attending the Slade School of Art and St. John's Wood School of Art, before returning to the United States in 1911. This lot, and the two preceding lots, were likely drawn during his last year in Europe.
