French School Impressionistic View Of A Parisian Square

French School Impressionistic View Of A Parisian SquareAn early 20th century oil on canvas depicting a view within one of Paris many squares. With an easy going muted palette, the artist has captured the atmosphere perfectly. We particularly love the flashes of green and red to highlight the brightly coloured shop fronts, as the remaining buildings blend into ochre. How many figures can you spot?
