Mid-Century Impressionist Paris Street Scene signed 'Burnett'

This is an original mid-20th-century impressionist oil painting on canvas depicting a bustling Paris street scene, likely a rendering of the Grands Boulevards. The work is executed with a heavy impasto technique, using a palette knife to create thick, textured strokes that add physical depth and dynamism to the scene. The central composition features several stylized figures in period-appropriate attire wandering toward a background architectural structure that resembles a Parisian theater or gallery entrance. The color palette is dominated by muted ochres, warm browns, and earthy oranges on the pavement, contrasted by the cool blues and greens of the figures' clothing and the sparse foliage of the trees. A signature in dark pigment, 'BURNETT', is prominently visible in the lower-left quadrant. This specific style and signature are associated with a genre of 'commercial' fine art popular in the 1960s and 70s, often attributed to Caroline Burnett or artists working in that collective style. The painting is housed in a traditional gilded wooden frame showing minor surface abrasions and a slight patina consistent with age. The canvas appears to maintain good tension, though there is fine craquelure visible in the heavier areas of white and light-blue impasto. The craftsmanship demonstrates a confident, rapid application typical of the mid-century Parisian school of decorative art.
