This expressive oil on canvas captures the timeless charm of Montmartre, one of Paris’s most iconic and romantic neighborhoods. Signed “Dalian” and dated 1968 in the lower right corner, the painting depicts a quiet square in Montmartre lined with typical Parisian buildings and leafy trees, rendered in rich, impasto brushstrokes.

The street scene is full of atmosphere, with softly colored facades, classic wrought-iron balconies, a Wallace fountain in the foreground, and inviting shopfronts with striped awnings. The trees arch overhead, their green canopy diffusing the Parisian light across the square. The artist’s technique, using thick layers of paint and confident palette knife work, gives the canvas a sense of vibrant movement and texture, bringing the scene to life with impressionistic energy.

The painting is beautifully framed in an elegant, carved and gilded wooden frame, adding warmth and depth to the composition. The back of the canvas shows age-appropriate wear and a sturdy wooden stretcher.

Whether you’re a collector of Parisian scenes or looking for an evocative artwork to bring character to your interior, this signed vintage piece is full of charm and nostalgia.
