This artwork is an original vintage mid-century impressionist oil painting by the listed French artist Bernard Dufour (1922-2016), depicting a bustling Paris street scene.

Artist Bernard Dufour (signed as "DUFOUR PARIS" in the lower-right corner). While Dufour is well-known for his later post-war abstract paintings, portraits, and expressive human figures, he also produced a series of highly textured, charm-filled mid-century Parisian and Mediterranean street scenes.

The piece features heavily textured impasto brushwork, distinct outlines, and blocks of vibrant mid-century colors (such as the bright red storefront marked "HOTEL" and the teal architectural features).

A classic, romanticized look at Parisian life, showcasing pedestrian figures walking past storefronts, awnings, and an iconic architectural tower rising in the background.
