Mid-Century Impressionist Street Scene Oil Painting

This is a large-scale horizontal oil painting on canvas depicting a bustling European-style city street, likely inspired by mid-20th-century Parisian cafe culture. The composition features multi-story stone buildings lining a wet, reflective cobblestone street, with several stylized human figures appearing in the foreground and mid-ground. The color palette is dominated by earthen tones of burnt umber, sienna, and charcoal, contrasted against a muted lavender and pale yellow sky that suggests dusk or early morning light. In the background, two prominent domed structures emerge, reminiscent of the Sacré-Cœur or similar neoclassical architecture. The artist has utilized a heavy impasto technique, particularly visible in the textured applications of white and cream paint on the building facades and the reflective puddles on the ground. The work is housed in a dark, multi-tiered wooden frame with a gold-tone inner fillet. The style and execution are characteristic of commercial 'vanity' or decor art popularized between the 1960s and 1980s, often produced in studios for the international market. The condition appears stable with no visible punctures or significant paint loss, though the dark frame shows minor scuffing and dust accumulation, and a slight aged patina is present on the canvas surface.
