A stunning depiction of a lively village scene with houses and figures throughout. There is a cafe situated near the busy street as people look through the neighboring shops' window. There is a flower vendor, bicycles chained to the street lamps, and charming colorful European buildings. Bouyssou was mostly known for his playful and highly trained hand in paintings executed with thick use of paint and sporadic, yet controlled brushwork. His wonderful use of light and shadow is exhibited beautifully as we can feel the time of day and the atmosphere effortlessly. This painting is signed lower left and comes displayed in a stunning gold tone frame with hanging wire on verso.
