Mid-Century Modern, French Street Scene, Watercolor

Description

Mid-century watercolor painting depicts a classic French cafe titled Cafe Cancalais, featuring a figure strolling by with a cane alongside patrons seated and enjoying coffee. Executed with a self-taught artistic sensibility, the composition employs quick washes of color accented with saturated black strokes to define forms. It is housed in a black-painted wood frame measuring approximately 12 3/4 in. H x 16 5/8 in. W x 1/2 in. D. The piece displays some toning, wear to the frame, and wear to the reverse backing all consistent with age.
