An atmospheric and characteristic oil painting by the renowned Dutch artist Jan Rijlaarsdam (1911-2007). The work depicts a lively Parisian street scene full of dynamism, featuring a terrace, walking figures, and characteristic French facades (including a hotel and the inscription "Escargot").
Rijlaarsdam was known for flawlessly capturing the soul of Parisian city and nightlife. This painting is a beautiful example of that: with his typical powerful, expressive impasto brushstrokes and a warm, atmospheric palette, he brings the Parisian dynamism to life. A wonderful collector's item for lovers of Modern Impressionism and Parisian cityscapes.
