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. Framed Dimensions 19.75 X 24.75 Inches
