1976 French School Watercolor Painting of Notre-Dame de Paris

£40.00

A mid-20th-century watercolor and ink landscape painting on paper depicting the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Paris.

64cm W * 51cm H

The work is executed in a loose, impressionistic style with fluid watercolor washes layered over a skeletal pen-and-ink underdrawing. The composition features a view from the Seine, showing the apsidal end and flying buttresses of the cathedral rising above the trees and the Pont de l’Archevêché.

The lower right corner is inscribed with 'paris Notre Dame' followed by the date '1976'. Below the date is a handwritten signature that is not clearly legible as a specific name. The piece is presented behind glass in a gilt-wood frame with a beaded inner border and a cream-colored mount. The verso is finished with a brown paper backing and hanging wire.
