This mid-century modern fine art piece is an oil on board painting by Evelyn Harris titled "Antibes", dating from 1950. The artwork depicts a narrow street scene featuring terracotta rooftops, architectural buildings, coastal vistas, and distant mountains under a blue sky, complete with a timber frame finished in grey and natural wood tones. The visible details include textured brushwork representing stone walls and tiled roofs, muted blues and greens in the landscape, and a painted palette of terracotta, white, and grey pigments. The framed painting measures 105 cm by 74 cm. In a contemporary home, this artwork suits placement above a sideboard in a living room, dining room, or hallway, bringing a mid-century architectural atmosphere to interior spaces. The composition offers visual depth through its elevated perspective over rooftops down toward a street populated with small figures. The neutral and earthy colour scheme integrates easily with various interior decoration styles while adding a historical artistic accent to wall displays.

FAQs

Mid-century French townscapes typically capture coastal villages and urban architecture using structured geometry, vibrant colour palettes, and expressive brushwork that reflects Post-Impressionist influences from the 1950s.

Artists during this period frequently applied oil-based pigments onto rigid wood or composition boards, which were then housed within simple wooden or painted timber frames for protection.

Authentic pieces exhibit era-appropriate board and frame construction, natural paint oxidisation, consistent surface patina, and period signatures or artist monograms.

Position the painting above a wooden sideboard, console table, or fireplace mantel to create a focal point, pairing it with neutral walls to highlight its warm Mediterranean hues.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and high humidity, dusting the surface gently with a soft dry brush while avoiding water or liquid cleaning chemicals.
