This modernist style watercolor and ink painting, a street street scene of architectural Paris, features people bustling around the Place du Carrousel in front of L'Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel at left and the Louvre Museum (entrance) just opposite. Not to be confused with its more famous and much larger cousin, L'Arc de Triomphe at the far end of the Champs Elysees, this triumphant arch was commissioned by Napoleon to commemorate his military victories, and was built in the Neoclassical style in1806-1808.
While the work has a sketch-like quality, the artist laid down the wash of vivid colors with a surety of hand that also lends an almost a lyrical quality with a satisfying result.
It is artist signed with an indecipherable first initial followed by the surname Callahan. Although his or her identity is unknown, the the artist is believed to have been an American artist active in the U.S. (including California) and France between the late 1950's and 1970's. There are no markings visible on the painting reverse as currently framed.
