This painting is much larger then the traditional street painting. It is 42 inches by 28 and framed. It is signed with a unusual signature.
This painting hung in mother’s home for over 30 years. I can not find any paperwork on the painting but she told me beforehand that dad bought it from a gallery in Chicago. The painting is quite impressive.
Dear Larry,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
The item presented appears to be an oil painting depicting a Paris street scene of possibly Montmartre with the Sacre Coeur Basilica in the background. It is from the twentieth century. It measures 28" (h) x 42"(w). The work is signed on the lower right by the artist. The condition appears to be good overall.
Unfortunately, I had some trouble deciphering the artist's signature. I've tried many variations, but without success, I am afraid. If you have any further information regarding the artist's signature, please let me know, and I will be happy to research further.
Therefore, the estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of similar Paris scene paintings without artist attribution, from the same period. The current condition (based on photographs provided) has been taken into consideration when determining the estimate.
Best regards,
Karine
