An 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.

The painting is signed ‘Graves’ in the lower left and housed within an attractive gilded frame.
