Mauville Prevost (French, b.1922), Urban Street Scene with Figures
A mid-20th-century semi-abstract street scene executed in oil on board, signed Mauville Prevost in the lower right corner. The composition depicts a bustling cityscape with numerous silhouetted figures walking between vibrant, blocky buildings. The work is characterised by a heavy impasto technique, likely applied with a palette knife, to create a rich, tactile surface with visible vertical sgraffito-like lines throughout. The palette features a bold mix of primary and secondary colours, including vibrant yellows, purples, and reds, set against a muted, atmospheric background. The painting is housed in a contemporary-style wide, flat white wooden frame.
