Château de Fontainebleau — Mid-Century Souvenir Oil (18×23 cm)

Oil on canvas, gilt wood frame

A charming mid-century hand-painted view of the Château de Fontainebleau, the palace reflected in tranquil waters at dusk. Finely detailed façade, mirrored reflections and a soft evening sky capture the romance of France’s royal residence. Titled “Fontainebleau” lower right (this is a title, not an artist signature).
