Framed Oil Painting: Parisian Riverside Scene

This is an oil painting depicting a vibrant riverside scene in Paris, likely a view of the Seine with the city skyline in the background. The painting features abundant green trees, suggesting a spring or summer setting, and detailed architectural elements including multi-story buildings and a prominent domed structure resembling a large government building or church (possibly the Panthéon or a similar civic structure). The foreground is lively with numerous figures, some strolling, others gathered, and includes horse-drawn carriages, indicating a historical or traditional subject matter. There are also street lamps and what appears to be a kiosk or small structure by the riverbank. The brushstrokes appear impressionistic, giving a sense of light and movement. The color palette is rich and varied, with prominent greens, blues, and warm tones in the architecture. The painting is housed in a substantial, ornate gilded frame, which appears to be wood or a composite material with a gold finish, featuring carved or molded decorative elements. The frame shows some signs of gentle wear, consistent with age, but no apparent major damage. The overall condition of the painting itself appears good, with no obvious tears, punctures, or significant paint loss visible from the provided image. There is a discernible signature in the lower right corner, which appears to be 'C. Morrison' or similar, suggesting a known artist, though further research would be needed to confirm. The style points towards a 20th-century European landscape painting, possibly mid-century given the impressionistic qualities and the detailed figural work. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed rendering of elements and the cohesive composition.
