Oil on canvas depicting a lively Parisian winter street scene with horse-drawn carriage and pedestrians beneath the Arc de Triomphe. The composition captures the atmospheric charm of mid-century Paris through expressive brushwork, warm illuminated shopfronts, and cool snow-covered streets. Signed lower right "Antoine Blanchard." Presented in an ornate gilt frame measuring approximately 33 inches by 28 inches overall. The painting reflects the popular Parisian Impressionist style associated with Blanchard's work, known for romanticized city views and vibrant street activity. Antoine Blanchard (1910-1988), born Marcel Masson in France, was a 20th-century painter celebrated for nostalgic views of Paris, often featuring monuments such as the Arc de Triomphe, Madeleine, and Opera. His works became highly sought after in American galleries during the mid-20th century.
