Hand Coloured Etching Marcel Julien Baron Paris Sacre Coeur

Original Hand Coloured Etching — Marcel Julien Baron, Parisian Street Scene with Sacré-Cœur

A captivating original hand-coloured etching by French artist Marcel Julien Baron, signed and produced c. 1947 during the post-war period. The work depicts a Parisian street scene with the iconic Sacré-Cœur Basilica rising in the background — one of the most beloved and recognisable silhouettes in all of European art. Baron’s impressionist sensibility brings warmth and movement to the scene; the hand-applied colour lifts the etching beyond the monochrome and gives it an intimacy that printed reproductions simply cannot replicate.

This is a genuine original impression on paper, hand-signed by the artist and presented in its frame. The hand colouring — applied by the artist’s own hand — makes this a truly unique object. In very good condition and portrait orientation, it is ready to display and certain to draw the eye in any interior that values the art of Paris and the craft of the printmaker.
