Mid-century Impressionist Parisian Street Scene Oil Painting

This item is an original oil painting on canvas or board, executed in a post-impressionist style commonly associated with mid-20th-century European art markets. The composition depicts a bustling Parisian street scene featuring figures walking past cafes with striped awnings under a hazy sky. Physically, the work showcases heavy impasto techniques where thick paint is applied with a palette knife or brush to create tactile texture in the architecture and trees. The palette is dominated by muted earth tones, grays, and ochres, punctuated by small dashes of color in the clothing of the figures. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Burnett' or a similar derivative, indicative of the high-volume studio artists who popularized this genre between the 1950s and 1970s. The painting is housed in an ornate, multi-tiered gilded wood or composite frame with a linen-lined inner slip. The frame's condition shows minor age-related wear and dust accumulation, while the painting surface appears stable with some potential darkening of the varnish layer. The craftsmanship reflects a decorative commercial standard of the mid-century era, designed to capture the romantic nostalgia of Montmartre or the Latin Quarter.
