Rare Thompson Left Bank Paris Crewel Embroidery Kit Street Scene

In this lovely view of Paris, acclaimed artist Elaine Thompson demonstrates her love of the use of light and color in her work. While the outline of Notre Dame and other Parisian landmarks can be seen in the background, the main focus of this picture is on the people in their brightly-colored clothing. There are ladies in long dresses and gentlemen in formal coats and hats, swinging their walking sticks and parasols as they stroll down the walk near the beautiful Seine on a sunny afternoon. Leafy green trees line the river’s edge, providing another pop of color beneath the clear, sunny sky.
