Important Notice
This is a timed auction, with all bidding taking place via these online pages. There is no auctioneer. Each lot has its own scheduled end time (indicated next to each lot). If a bid is placed in the last few minutes before the lot end time, the clock will extend by two minutes to allow bidding to continue.

The best way to bid is to place the maximum you would be willing to spend and let the computer do the rest. If no one else places a bid, you will win the lot for the reserve. If other bids are placed, the system will raise your bid amount to the increment above the next highest bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded. This is called proxy bidding. You will receive emails when your bid has increased in value or when you have been outbid.

Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

A deserted street in the Montmartre district of Paris, possibly painted in the early morning to avoid the crowds. It was originally painted on canvas but it shows the wear of being kept by the artist for years without being mounted on a stretcher. At some stage it has been laid down on board but still shows a couple of creases in the canvas from being stored in a folio.

The label on reverse is from an exhibition in Sweden and although it clearly shows the Title, the artist's name is stubbornly indecipherable.

Although the frame is 1950s to 60s I think the painting is earlier, possibly even 1930s.

I have a question
