A beautiful oil painting on canvas by the French artist Georges Gerbier, depicting a tremendously vivid and alive street scene from Paris in the 20th Century with a view of "Palais Garnier" by "Le Grand Hotel" at the square in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, at the junction of the Boulevard des Italiens, Boulevard des Capucines, Avenue de l'Opéra, Rue Auber, Rue Halévy, Rue de la Paix and Rue du Quatre-Septembre. A busy street sight filled with life on a busy day with people walking alongside the bustling cars and trolleys of Paris. People are depicted throughout the streets and the lights from the cafes and stores flicker and reflect on the wet ground, illuminating the scene in a magical way. The details are magnificent as Gerbier captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. This painting is signed lower left and it comes housed in an ornate gold tone giltwood frame with green velvet liner with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.

Condition: The painting is in excellent condition for the time period and comes displayed in an original vintage frame that shows some ordinary wear from age, and minor imperfections in line with the age (please refer to the listing pictures for details).
