    I found this yesterday at my local thrift store - I almost passed it by because at first look it looked too white/all white! But when I picked it up & looked I noticed the little areas of color from the trees and people walking about, and I thought it was kind of cool.
    The signature is almost impossible to read (Hunt?), but I'm hoping someone here can pull out a miracle!
    Any thoughts on the painting?
    Thank you!

    I suspect that a factory painting.

    Parisian street scene. A scene that doesn't look observed. Illegible signature in red paint.

    Yeah, any street scene that has the look of a tourist piece and is quickly/loosely painted always tweaks my Factory Painting senses too. Worse when the signature is illegible/non-sensical and red. But I've been wrong before.... Sometimes they're just tourist paintings by a local artist, as opposed to a Chinese one.

    It's got a dreamy quality to it and people love Paris so that doesn't mean it wouldn't sell.

    It's a pretty painting, but I suspect tourist art or factory art rather than fine art. It would sell regardless because it's pretty and foggy and somebody would go for it. I'm seeing it hanging on a brick wall somewhere.

    For me the frame doesn’t suit it and just makes it look like cheap decoration.

    But isn’t that the very nature of factory art?

    Pointy legs on wet Paris streets. It seems to be a factory art cliche.
