Jan Korthals (Dutch, 20th century), Paris Cityscape. Large oil on canvas depicting a tranquil river view with an arched stone bridge and cathedral rising beyond, painted in a subdued Impressionist manner. The composition employs a restrained palette of soft grays, blues, and silvery tones, with loose, confident brushwork capturing atmospheric light and reflections on the water. Bare trees and muted architecture suggest a Parisian winter or early spring setting.
The work is signed at lower left with "Paris," indicating the location, with the artist's signature below. Korthals is known for evocative European cityscapes and landscapes, often emphasizing mood, light, and architectural harmony rather than strict detail.
