Painted when the artist was living in Montmartre, this early piece captures the historic Parisian bistro La Mère Catherine on the Place du Tertre.

Executed in a rich, textured post-impressionistic style reminiscent of Maurice Utrillo, the scene depicts a snowy winter day in Paris. Bare trees frame the vibrant red facade of the historic storefront while intimate figures—including an artist working at an outdoor easel—bring the charming neighborhood setting to life.

Renoux is universally celebrated as a master painter of old Paris storefronts, and this piece showcases the moody, nostalgic depth characteristic of his highly collectible early 1960s work.

The piece comes housed in its original mid-century linen-lined wooden frame with a subtle gold lip, presenting a ready-to-hang piece of mid-20th-century European art history. See less
