Description

This is a beautifully evocative painting detailing a night time scene on the rainy streets of Paris. The horse drawn coaches are wending their way towards their passengers destinations whilst the gas lamps of the streets light the night sky. A few brave souls brave the walk home or are perhaps waiting for a carriage of their own, The painting is finished in a wooden gilt frame which measures 85 x 58 cm. The painting itself measures 77 x 52 cm.

Colin Maxwell Parsons British born in Birmingham in 1936. According to one source Parsons is considered to be one of the finest contemporary landscape artists in Europe.
