Acquired directly from the artist and then by descent to the current owner

Hamaoui was a Lebanese artist who was renowned for painting at an amazing speed, using a small thin piece of plastic instead of a brush. Developing his own unique style, the artist was drawn to local subjects often including street scenes, boats and harbours.
