Notes: "Boulevard et Porte Saint-Martin", was painted circa 1930, by Edouard Leon Cortes. The painting is signed lower left, Ed Cortes. It is on unlined canvas; frame impression/rubbing with no paint loss along top edge; under UV exam, there appears to be an approx. 2-1/2 inches horizontal line of inpainting along center top edge, several small dots at upper left corner and center bottom edge, an approx. 2-inches long line in lower right corner, and several flecks of inpainting in cafe interior at far right, but professional varnish layer makes painting surface difficult to read.
