A romantic snapshot of mid-century Paris, this vintage print captures the iconic view of Notre-Dame cathedral from across the Seine, rendered in fluid strokes and soft hues by French artist Maurice Girard. Known for his loose impressionistic style, Girard’s scenes evoke the spirit of old Paris—bustling riverside paths, leafy trees, and the timeless architecture of the Left Bank.
 
Printed with rich tone and painterly detail, this piece is a reproduction of one of Girard’s original watercolors, titled in pencil “Notre Dame et La Seine” and signed in the lower left. Presented under glass in a simple dark wood frame, the print has acquired gentle patina over time—enhancing its vintage charm.
 
A beautiful little accent for Francophiles, travelers, or lovers of nostalgic cityscapes. Easy to tuck into a gallery wall, bookshelf, or reading nook.
