Description: Mid to Late 20th C. French Impressionist Artist Charles De Montfort Signed and Titled this Joyful Parisian Cityscape with Figures scene. It is an Original Watercolor on paper from, we believe, the 1960's. We also believe that De Montfort is an alias, used by Charles Levier (1920-2004) who also used Villard, Verrier and Merrier. Either way, this wonderful piece depicts a celebration on the 14th of July, known in France as Bastille Day, commemorating the storming of the Bastille (fortress/prison) on that date in 1789 during the French Revolution. Musicians play in a windowed kiosk (displaying the flag) as couples dance in the square to the delight of passersby and a big-eared cat (lower left). 2 1/4" Wide Antiqued Gold Scoop moulding with a 'crackled' finish, double mat and glare reducing glass are included in this listing. The mat is showing some streaking/discoloration.Image opening measures approx. 21 1/2 X 29 and is in Very Good condition.Outside measure of the frame is 31 1/2 X 39 1/4 and is in Good condition w/ a few retouched scuffs.Piece weighs 14 lbs., 7 oz., before packing.Please carefully examine all images for condition.Apologies for glare or reflection in images due to photographing under glass.
