Mid-Century Impressionist Paris Street Scene Oil Painting

This is a medium-to-large format oil painting on canvas, depicting a classic Parisian street scene featuring the Eiffel Tower in the distant background and the River Seine. The artwork is executed in an Impressionist style with heavy impasto, where thick paint is applied to create physical texture. The color palette is dominated by muted earth tones, blues, and yellows, with a pale, cloud-filled sky. Visible in the lower right foreground are stylized city figures and Parisian architecture with yellow awnings. The painting is housed in a contemporary dark wood frame with a neutral-toned inner liner. Notable characteristics include the expressive, blocky brushstrokes typical of mid-20th-century 'tourist art' or commercial gallery works. There appears to be a signature in the bottom right corner, though it is difficult to decipher from the image provided. The condition shows some surface dust and potential yellowing of the varnish consistent with age, likely dating from the 1960s to 1980s. The frame shows minor surface wear but remains structurally sound. The overall craftsmanship suggests a proficient commercial artist following the popular decorative trends of the mid-to-late 20th century.
