Unknown Artist, Au Délice de Provence, Oil on Canvas

This is a beautifully detailed oil painting on canvas, depicting a charming European café scene titled Au Délice de Provence. The work captures the warm, inviting atmosphere of a French street, complete with an intimate outdoor seating area, golden interior lights, and a striking blue storefront.

Rendered with rich texture and depth, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century and showcases a blend of realism and impressionistic techniques. The painting features paint splatters on the back, an indication of an original studio work.

Framed size: 45 x 35 inches
Unframed size: 39 x 29 inches

The frame is a classic wooden design with gold trim. It is marked "Made in Italy."

The piece remains in its original, untouched condition. There are some minor surface imperfections, including visible scratches near the blue storefront and slight creasing near the chair. A few small areas of paint loss are present on the lower portion, along with fine craquelure, particularly in the darker areas of the painting. These natural signs of aging do not detract from the overall visual impact but instead enhance the authenticity and character of the work.

A refined and atmospheric addition to any collection, this painting exudes European charm and timeless appeal. Signed by the artist.
