AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Watercolor on paper signed "Jean Fous" in the lower left corner and titled "Les Invalides" that depicts a picturesque view of the Hôtel des Invalides in Paris from the esplanade, with the iconic golden dome of the Dôme des Invalides as the central element under a cloudy sky and a soft impressionist or naïve atmosphere. Figures dressed in period clothing (possibly the 1940s/1950s) stroll or play in the foreground, accompanied by bare trees and adjacent buildings with red-tiled roofs, capturing daily life and the monumental splendor of the military complex. Dimensions of the work: 31 x 23 cm; with frame: 47 x 40 cm. Technique and style evoke mid-20th-century French naïf art, a work by Jean Fous (1901-1971), a popular painter known for Parisian urban scenes, markets, and historic motifs.
