Watercolor Painting of Notre Dame Cathedral and Seine River

This is a framed watercolor painting depicting a scenic view of the Notre Dame Cathedral from across the Seine River in Paris. The painting is characterized by its vibrant yet impressionistic use of color to capture the bustling Parisian street life. The central focus is the majestic Notre Dame Cathedral, rendered with reasonable detail, showcasing its twin towers and central spire against a light blue sky with scattered clouds. In the foreground, the serene blue-green waters of the Seine River flow, bordered by quays where several 'bouquinistes' (booksellers) have their green stalls open, displaying various wares. Figures of people are visible on the sidewalk along the river, some walking, others seemingly browsing the stalls. A busy street runs parallel to the river on the right side of the composition, populated with several cars, mostly rendered with soft, undefined details, typical of watercolor. A prominent red car stands out in the mid-ground. The overall artistic style suggests a late 20th-century aesthetic, possibly tourist art or a regional artist's rendition. The painting is housed under glass within a simple, narrow dark brown or black frame with a wide, off-white matboard. There is a visible artist's signature in the bottom right corner, which appears to be 'L. Lino' or 'Lino', though difficult to decipher definitively from the image. The paper appears to have some slight undulation or warping, possibly typical of watercolor on paper, and there might be some minor discoloration or foxing on the matboard or paper due to age, although not clearly visible. The framing itself appears utilitarian rather than ornate, suggesting the focus is primarily on the artwork. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the atmosphere rather than precise architectural details, indicating a dynamic, plein-air approach or a similar studio technique. The general condition appears good with no obvious major damage to the artwork itself, beyond potential age-related wear on the paper or frame.
