Waiting, Paris-Rue de Chateaubriand by Jean Beraud

A fashionable, but quite mysterious Parisian woman waits, perhaps for the lone figure barely spied near the painting's edge. Art critics have speculated whether this work is an echo of the artist's life as an unmarried man. Highly successful French artist Béraud received the Legion d'Honneur in 1887 and was a gold medal winner at the Paris Fair of 1889. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. The imported, delicately carved hardwood frame boasts a delicate leaf motif with fine feathered detailing finished in antique gold tones.
