Mid-Century Parisian Street Scene Watercolor Painting - 'Paris Le Moulin Rouge'

This item is a vertical-format watercolor and ink painting on paper, depicting a vibrant street scene of the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris. The architectural focus is the iconic red windmill centered in the upper mid-ground, flanked by Parisian apartment buildings. The foreground features a bustling sidewalk cafe with patrons, pedestrians, and mid-20th-century style automobiles. The color palette is dominated by atmospheric blues, greys, and ochres, punctuated by the vivid red of the windmill and cafe awning. Artistically, the piece employs an impressionistic, loose sketch style with visible pen-and-ink outlines and broad watercolor washes. It is signed 'Arno' in the lower right and bears the handwritten title 'Paris Le Moulin Rouge' in the lower margin. The artwork is housed in a period-correct, multi-tiered wooden frame with a dark stained finish and a distressed green inner liner. Condition shows noticeable yellowing of the paper consistent with age, particularly a vertical stain along the left margin near the matte edge. The frame shows minor surface abrasions and edge wear. Estimating a mid-20th-century origin, likely 1950s-1960s, reflecting the popular tourist art of that era meant for international markets.
