Framed Watercolour by Franz Herbelot, View of Notre-Dame, Paris
This framed watercolour by Franz Herbelot depicts a view of Notre-Dame in Paris, seen across a stone bridge from a tree-lined riverside walk. The cathedral’s twin towers and central spire rise above the scene, while a painter at an easel and several figures stroll along the embankment in the foreground. The work is signed to the lower right and is presented in a gilt frame beneath a white mount.
Condition and Presentation
The watercolour is mounted within a white card mat and housed in a gilt-finished frame. The gilt finish shows some wear and small areas of rubbing along the moulding, and the mat carries light marks, including a faint mark towards the upper left. The painting itself is well composed, with loose, expressive brushwork and muted tones, making it an appealing piece for collectors of mid-century European city scenes or of Parisian landmarks. Buyers seeking a decorative piece of Paris street and riverside subject matter may find it a welcome addition to a study, hallway or living room.
