This atmospheric scene captures a rain-slicked cobblestone passage beside the historic Cabildo building, featuring the characteristic gas lamp and wrought-iron balconies that are hallmarks of De La Fille's most beloved subjects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSignature: Signed and dated lower right: \"PAUL DELA FILLE 1986\" directly in paint.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Rendered in a masterfully layered mix of watercolor, gouache, and ink. The cobblestones feature textured, almost sculptural brushwork—a signature technique that gives the street a three-dimensional, wet-look depth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFraming: Professionally framed in a classic gold-tone gallery frame with a sophisticated deep black velvet mat. Note: This piece is intentionally displayed without glass, allowing the viewer to appreciate the rich, matte textures and the fine natural age-crackling of the paint surface without glare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e🖼 ABOUT THE ARTIST\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003ePaul De La Fille (American, 1927–2010) was a listed Louisiana artist celebrated for his evocative depictions of the New Orleans French Quarter. His works are held in private collections nationwide and frequently appear at prestigious auction houses. As De La Fille passed away in 2010, his original paintings are finite and increasingly sought after by collectors of Southern regional art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e📐 DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Paul De La Fille (American, 1927–2010)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSubject: Cabildo Alley, New Orleans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate: 1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium: Original Mixed Media (Watercolor\/Gouache\/Ink) on Paper\/Board\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFramed Dimensions: Approx. 19.5\" H × 15.5\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImage Dimensions (Visible): Approx. 13.5\" H × 9.5\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrame: Gold-finish wood frame with black velvet inner mat (No glass)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReady to Hang: Includes wire-hanging hardware on reverse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e🔍 CONDITION\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003eExcellent vintage condition. The painting remains vivid and clean. As is common with mid-century mixed media on board, there is fine natural age crackling visible in the thicker paint areas (see close-up photos). This is a stable, non-damaging characteristic that adds authentic vintage character to the 40-year-old original. The frame and velvet mat are in great shape with only minor vintage wear to the gold finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003e📦 SHIPPING\u003cbr\u003e━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━\u003cbr\u003eShips from Washington State.
