Description: This charming watercolour by Tony Herbert captures a quintessential Parisian street scene in the heart of Montmartre. The focal point is the iconic Le Consulat café, with its red-and-white striped awning and handwritten signage, instantly recognisable to anyone familiar with the romantic, bohemian spirit of this historic neighbourhood. Herbert’s restrained yet expressive palette brings the soft Parisian light to life, casting long afternoon shadows across cobbled streets and façades of cream-toned buildings. There’s a gentle contrast between the shaded left-hand side — dominated by the dark green storefront and muted greys — and the warmly illuminated restaurant terrace on the right, where groups of people gather in casual conversation or pass by in motion. Leaning lampposts and subtle architectural details — such as shuttered windows, wrought iron balconies, and angled chimneys — add to the authenticity of the setting. Despite its apparent simplicity, this piece is rich in atmosphere: a moment of quiet observation that conjures memories of spring walks, afternoon coffees, or holidays gone by. Whether you’ve strolled this very street or simply admire the enduring charm of Paris, this painting would bring a touch of European elegance to any interior. It would suit spaces styled with travel photography, literary prints, or neutral tones, and offers a romantic alternative to traditional cityscapes.
