Place Du Tertre Art Appraisal

Montmartre Place du Tertre Framed Art Print by Miquel

This is a framed art print depicting a vibrant street scene of Montmartre, Paris, specifically the Place du Tertre. The print is housed within a simple black wooden frame with a visible matt or border surrounding the artwork. The artwork itself is a color print, likely a lithograph or serigraph, characterized by distinct outlines and hand-applied color fills, giving it a somewhat illustrative or impressionistic quality. The scene captures the essence of a Parisian square with buildings, bare-branched trees suggesting a cooler season, and what appear to be market stalls or outdoor cafes with colorful umbrellas (red, green, orange). Figures are visible, adding life to the composition. Notable features include what appears to be the dome of Sacré-Cœur Basilica in the background, a defining landmark of Montmartre. At the bottom left, the print is signed 'Miquel' in what appears to be pencil, indicating the artist's signature. Centered below the image, the title 'Montmartre Place du Tertre' is also hand-written, likely in pencil, which is a common practice for limited edition prints. On the right side, another signature, 'Miquel' (possibly the same as on the left), is visible. The overall condition of the print appears good, with no obvious major damage like tears or significant discoloration visible through the frame. The frame itself shows some minor wear and scuffs, consistent with age and handling. The print's style suggests a mid-20th century to late 20th century origin, aligning with the popularity of Parisian street scene prints during that period. The presence of hand-signatures and title indicates a certain level of quality and potentially a limited edition, which can enhance its value.
