Lucien Adrion (1889-1953) - oil on canvas circa 1910 - The market gardens of Paris<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
An interesting oil on canvas, depicting a view of the market gardens of Paris, with the Eiffel Tower at the back. Although these gardens have now disappeared, at the beginning of the 20th century, Parisian market gardeners were still helping to supply the city.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our painting, in fine condition, is certainly one of the painter's early works, signed lower left by Lucien Adrion, circa 1910.<\/p>\n
