Parisian Street Scene Oil Painting

This is an original oil painting depicting a vibrant Parisian street scene, executed in an impasto style with thick, textured brushstrokes. The artwork showcases a bustling street with several figures strolling along a sidewalk lined with trees and a prominent lamppost on the left. On the right, a multi-story building features several windows with red and green awnings, and below them, a cafe or shop with a striped yellow and white awning. Below the awning, there are numerous flower boxes overflowing with pink and red blooms, creating a splash of color. The background features additional buildings with distinctive mansard roofs and chimney pots, indicative of classic Parisian architecture. The predominant colors include blues, grays, greens, browns, and earthy tones, with pops of red and yellow. The overall impression is one of movement and atmosphere, characteristic of a rainy or recently wet street, with reflections visible on the pavement. The painting style suggests a mid-20th century to contemporary period, with a somewhat naive or expressive approach that prioritizes emotion and visual texture over precise realism. There are no immediately apparent condition issues such as cracks, tears, or significant paint loss visible from the provided image. The thick application of paint (impasto) is a key feature, adding depth and a tactile quality to the scene. A signature appears to be present in the lower right corner, though it is difficult to decipher from the image.
