Paris Market Oil Painting of Seated Boy Interior Scene

An expressive oil painting sourced in the Paris markets, depicting a seated boy in a quiet interior. Measuring approximately 13 by 9.5 inches, this piece carries a beautifully intimate scale that makes it perfect for layering into a bookshelf, resting on a mantel, or anchoring a collected vignette.

The composition is rich with painterly movement. Loose confident brushstrokes define the doorway, walls, and furnishings, while softer blended tones shape the figure. The slightly abstracted facial features and restrained palette give the painting a modern European sensibility while still feeling warm and nostalgic.

Painted on canvas board, the surface shows age appropriate wear and texture that enhance its authenticity and charm. The back remains untouched, further supporting its character as a found piece with history.

A soulful little painting that feels right at home among antiques, marble busts, blue and white ceramics, and layered old frames. Quiet, thoughtful, and unmistakably European.
