Charming oil on canvas depicting a lively urban scene in a modern figurative style, inspired by Parisian views of the mid-20th century. The composition features a cobblestone square after the rain, with luminous and atmospheric reflections. On the left, a large building facade in warm tones (ochres, reds, and browns) houses illuminated shops whose windows are reflected in the damp ground. On the right, colorful stalls and, in the background, a twin-towered church evoking Parisian architecture (reminiscent of Montmartre). Several elegant figures move through the scene, adding rhythm and depth to the perspective. The treatment of the slightly hazy light, as well as the textural effects, give the whole a romantic and vibrant atmosphere. The painting displays palette knife work with generous impasto, particularly visible on the facades and in the illuminated areas. Beautiful pictorial texture giving depth and character to the work.
