Title: French Impressionist Watercolor of the Seine River with Boats and Notre-Dame By Maurice Mazeilie (French 1924-2021) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 5.5 x 7.5 inches (Height x Width) Stamped: Verso Condition: Good, with signs of aging. Provenance: All the paintings we have by this artist have come from the artist’s estate. Description: This expressive watercolor captures a lively scene along the Seine River, with boats docked along the riverbank and the silhouette of Notre-Dame Cathedral in the background. The artist skillfully uses a combination of bold and soft brushstrokes to convey the motion of the boats and the serene flow of the river. The bridge in the distance draws the viewer’s eye toward the iconic towers of Notre-Dame, lightly washed in soft blues and grays, while the surrounding buildings and trees bring a sense of Parisian charm to the composition. The earthy tones of the riverbank contrast with the cool blues of the sky and water, creating a harmonious balance between light and shadow. This painting is a beautiful depiction of Parisian life along the Seine and is perfect for collectors of cityscapes and impressionist art.
