A beautiful oil on panel painting by American artist Helen Enoch Gleiforst. She was a painter known for her colorful cityscapes depicting the times of her generation. This painting is a wonderful example of her work from the prime of her career. Here you see a bustling street scene with figures, flower vendors, a horse and carriage by "La Madeleine" in Paris. A busy street sight filled with life on a warm day in the late afternoon, with the flowers bursting with color and people walking alongside the streets of Paris. Figures are depicted throughout the streets, and the city lights flicker and reflect on the ground, magically illuminating the scene. The details are magnificent as Gleiforst captures the architecture of Paris so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. The piece is signed by the artist lower right, and it comes housed in a wonderful gold-tone plein air-style wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
