    I've had this painting for a little while - I'd forgotten about it until I came across it tonight (it's only 6 x 7.5 art / 9" x 10.5" w/frame).
    I can't make out the signature but it has a 1946 date!

    Any idea who the artist is?
    Thoughts on the painting?

    I am going through my paintings (200-300!) and picking out about 50 or so to send to auction to make both some room & some money! If this is good it will probably go too (I may end up with all abstract & surreal art in my house when I'm finished!)

    It is cool how the people's bodies look like bodies until you get to the close up & see they are just dabs of paint - that was pretty well done I thought?

    Thank you for any thoughts!

    Imo art produced for the Place du Tertre street market. Likely to be impossible to track down the artist – looks like an Italian structured name. I think the view is much the same as a painting by Maurice Utrillo, below. I'd guess very little value given the huge amount of Montmartre tourist art on the market.

    In Dutch we call them "Parijsjes", little Parises, with a slightly dismissive tone. Which goes to show that we see them a lot.
    Still, a much nicer souvenir than a snowball with an Eiffel Tower inside.;)

    It was a gift from my mother. So I cherish it. Not much more than sentimental value.

    In that case it is precious.:) Sentimental value is also value, and it usually means more than gold.
