Wagner was a Paris-born artist, active in the 1930s and 1940s, known for his impressionistic street scenes of the city. This specific piece depicts a prominent Parisian square, likely the Place de la Concorde, and features a fountain in the foreground and monuments in the distance.

Based on the style and the era of the artist, these frames likely date back to the 1940s or 1950s.

This specific framing style—featuring a deep-set mitered wooden profile, often with a linen or "burlap" fabric liner and a gold-painted inner lip—was a classic mid-century choice for impressionistic watercolor lithographs like those by Hermann Edouard Wagner.
