This oil on canvas painting depicts a Paris street scene, attributed to R. Pitton. The composition is executed in a mid-20th-century impressionist style, featuring a Parisian boulevard with multi-storey buildings and storefront awnings on the left. The perspective leads toward a domed structure in the hazy distance. The foreground is populated with several stylised figures in colourful attire walking on a reflective, wet-look pavement. On the right, green structures resembling the bouquinistes stalls line the side of the road. The artist has utilised heavy impasto and palette knife techniques to create significant texture throughout the architectural details and the figures. The work is executed in oil on a stretched canvas support. It is signed in the lower right corner, with the signature appearing to read R. Pitton. The painting is housed in a dark-stained wooden frame with a gilded inner slip.
