A richly colored and textured expressionist style painting of Paris in springtime featuring one of its many iconic stone bridges arching across the River Seine against the backdrop of iconic period Parisian architecture. The quiet stillness of this unpopulated scene before a new day begins lends a somewhat moody and almost haunting air to this romantic work.
