This compelling mid-century oil on canvas captures the spirited ambiance of Paris through an evocative street scene leading toward the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica. Executed with expressive palette knife technique, the artist—whose signature is visible but remains untraced—builds a layered surface rich in texture and movement. The composition masterfully balances architectural structure with the liveliness of pedestrians and street activity, rendered in a palette of cool greys, atmospheric blues, and soft golden accents. The interplay of light and form evokes the vitality of everyday life against a backdrop of historic grandeur. Infused with Impressionist sensibility and mid-century modern energy, the work radiates timeless urban sophistication.
