D. Farbe (XX) - Vue de Paris, Café- Huile sur carton

Original work signed D. Farbe and dated 1974, oil on cardboard, depicting a view of Paris.

The composition depicts a Parisian street lined with old buildings and shops. In the foreground, several bare trees structure the perspective, while a storefront bearing the inscription “CAFÉ” appears on the right. The whole scene captures the characteristic atmosphere of a Parisian district, with its façades, windows and storefronts.

The painting is executed in a warm palette mixing ochres, yellows, blues, greens and browns, with a particularly graphic treatment. The dark outlines, thick brushstrokes and textural effects emphasize the architectural lines and give the scene an expressive character.

The work bears the handwritten signature “D. Farbe” as well as the date 1974. The full identity of the artist could not be established with certainty despite the research conducted.
