Framed 1945 French Charcoal Street Scene
Couldn't load pickup availability
A quietly charming French charcoal drawing, signed and dated lower right, likely September 1945. The scene captures a lively town square or promenade with loose, expressive figures, shaded trees, distant architecture, and a church tower rising in the background. The quickness of the hand gives it that wonderful sketchbook quality — soft, atmospheric, and full of movement without feeling overly finished.
Set in its original warm wood frame, the piece has a beautifully timeworn presence with visible age to the frame, backing, and paper. The subject feels distinctly European and postwar in spirit, with a casual elegance that makes it easy to layer into a gallery wall, bookshelf, hallway, or collected corner.
- Signed and dated lower right; artist name is not fully legible.
- Date appears to read September 1945.
- Original frame shows age, surface wear, scratches, finish loss, and separation/wear to the back.
- Backing paper/cardboard shows age, tape remnants, and previous securing methods.
- Drawing appears softly toned with age beneath glass.
- Sold as found in France.
Dimensions: 15.5 x 12.25
