Caroline Burnett Paris Street Scene Oil Painting

This is an original oil on canvas or board painting depicting a vibrant Parisian street scene, signed by the artist Burnett in the lower left corner. The artwork is executed in a late 20th-century impressionistic style, utilizing thick impasto brushstrokes that provide a textured, three-dimensional quality to the figures and architecture. The palette features warm ochres for the buildings, interspersed with pops of red and blue in the figures and market stalls. The composition focuses on a curved street lined with multi-story French architecture, leading the eye toward a domed structure in the hazy background, likely the Pantheon or Sacré-Cœur. The painting is housed in an ornate, multi-tiered gilded wood frame with a linen liner. The frame shows decorative scrolling and bead-and-reel motifs in a bronze-gold finish. Condition-wise, the artwork appears well-preserved with no visible cracking or flaking of the paint. The linen liner shows minor age-related discoloration and dust accumulation, typical for pieces from the mid-to-late 20th century. Caroline Burnett was a prolific American artist who lived and worked in France; her work is characterized by these quintessential scenes of daily Parisian life, often sold to international tourists.
