Gate, Parc Monceau by Harold Altman

This is an original fine art lithograph or etching titled 'Gate, Parc Monceau' by the renowned American artist Harold Altman (1924-2003). The piece depicts a serene, atmospheric scene of the famous Parisian park, rendered in Altman's signature pointillist-influenced style. The composition features a wide walkway flanked by lush, densely textured trees, with various figures walking and sitting on park benches, leading the viewer's eye toward the ornate park gates in the distance. The color palette is subtle, utilizing tonal greens and grays to create a sense of soft, dappled light. The artwork is pencil-signed by the artist in the lower right margin and bears the title 'Gate, Parc Monceau' in the center margin. In the lower left, it is inscribed as an artist's proof (A.P.). The print is housed in a gold-finished wooden frame with a linen-textured mat. The condition appears stable, though there is some evident yellowing/toning to the paper, particularly along the mat line, and a small yellow price or inventory sticker is attached to the lower left of the glass. The fine cross-hatching and stippling techniques demonstrate high-quality draftsmanship characteristic of Altman's mid-to-late 20th-century Parisian landscapes.
