Talented French watercolor artist Marius Girard was working along the Left Bank of the river Seine when my parents discovered him in Paris in 1962. Impressed by his energetic brush strokes and bold use of color, my folks promptly purchased two of his prints -- this lively scene of the Arc de Triomphe viewed down the Champs Elysees, and a second work depicting Notre Dame Cathedral and the equally famous Left Bank booksellers in the foreground ("Notre Dame et les Bouquinistes," also listed on Chairish). Framed in silver colored wood and glass, the prints each measure 19" W x 16.5" H x 1" D and can be hung separately or as a pair. Take them home and enjoy!
