Original 20th century French painting depicting an elegant horse racing scene in Paris. The artwork is attributed to Henry Saint-Clair (1899–1990). The attribution is based on stylistic characteristics, period-specific painterly qualities and the visible signature on the work. The composition evokes the refined atmosphere of early 20th century Parisian racecourses, showing horses, jockeys and spectators gathered beneath striped parasols, capturing the social elegance of the Belle Époque. Painted in a loose, decorative manner with confident brushwork and balanced color accents, the work aligns well with the tradition of French post-Impressionist and decorative painting. A visually strong and highly decorative piece that works equally well in classic and contemporary interiors as statement wall art. Original painting, not a reproduction.
Attributed to the late 1920s to early 1930.
The artwork is executed in mixed media and has been newly framed in a bronze-toned gold frame with a matching mat.
The artwork is accompanied by a Certificate of Attribution issued by me as a painting appraiser.
