About the Item

Title: Paris Street Scene at Night with Figures and Red Coat Urban Watercolor Artist: Pierre Neveu (French b.1929) Medium: Watercolour on card, unframed Size (H x W): 6.5 x 4.5 inches Condition: Good overall, with light age-related toning, scattered handling marks, and gentle edge wear consistent with a working studio study Provenance: From the artist’s studio sale in France; all works by this artist in our collection originate from the artist’s estate. Description: This atmospheric watercolor by Pierre Neveu depicts a bustling Parisian night scene, rendered with expressive washes, energetic linework, and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. Though not titled by the artist, the architectural features—the classical pediment, illuminated storefronts, silhouetted street trees, and dense flow of pedestrians—strongly evoke central Paris, likely around the Grands Boulevards, Opéra district, or Place de la Madeleine, areas Neveu is known to have sketched frequently. At the foreground left, a figure in a striking red coat anchors the composition, walking briskly across the street with head slightly bowed—an iconic motif in mid-century French urban painting. This bold pop of colour provides a dynamic counterpoint to the deep indigo night sky and muted stone façades. Neveu’s distinctive ink-and-wash technique infuses the scene with movement: gestural black lines create the spindly winter trees, window frames, and swirling city energy, while soft watercolor gradients capture the glow of streetlamps and shopfront reflections on wet pavement. Groups of silhouetted figures populate the sidewalks, suggesting evening crowds, perhaps theatre-goers or commuters. Despite its loose execution, the composition is carefully structured, leading the viewer’s eye through layers of architectural depth and atmospheric urban light. This work reflects Neveu’s broader interest in everyday life, modern city rhythms, and expressive observational drawing—a complement to his better-known landscapes of Provence and rural France. His training at the École Boulle and the École des Beaux-Arts is evident in the balance of compositional discipline and painterly spontaneity. Ideal for collectors of Paris street scenes, nocturne cityscapes, urban modernism, and expressive mid-century watercolor, this piece combines mood, narrative, and artistic confidence in equal measure. Unframed and ready for bespoke presentation.

'Parisian Street Scene', watercolour on art paper, by Roland DuBuc (circa 1970s).

DuBuc's artworks serve as a love letter to the city of Paris and are recognised by his incredibly charming style. The signed artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing.
