A mid-century oil on canvas by French painter Helene Besnard-Giraudias (1906-2003), depicting the iconic Place de Furstenberg in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris. The composition presents tall trees and Art Nouveau street lights in the foreground, opening onto a street lined with stone and brick buildings in the background. Architectural details—from window surrounds to arched doorways—contrasts beautifully with the undulating forms of the trees, echoing the sinuous design of the street lamps.
Executed in a subtle palette of greens, yellows, pinks and greys, the painting is signed and presented in its original Montparnasse frame. An elegant celebration of Parisian architecture and nature.
