 A lively view of a Parisian street in the 20th century.

 The painting "Bookseller" by Édouard Cortès is a work of art created by the French artist Édouard Léon Cortès (1882-1969). Cortès was a post-impressionist painter renowned for his depictions of Parisian urban scenes, and "Bookseller" is an excellent example of this.

 The painting depicts a bouquiniste, a seller of old and secondhand books, along the Seine in Paris. Bouquinistes have been an iconic feature of the city for centuries, with their characteristic green stalls and literary treasures attracting passersby, collectors, and book lovers.

 In "Bookseller," Cortés captures the unique atmosphere of these small book stalls, with a play of light and shadow that brings the scene to life. Shades of blue and gray can be seen in the sky, along with touches of light filtering through the trees and illuminating the Seine. The figures in the painting appear to be immersed in the discovery of books, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

 Cortès's painting pays homage to Parisian life and the city's literary culture, while offering a nostalgic perspective on a bygone era. His post-Impressionist style, with its expressive brushstrokes and shimmering color palette, lends "The Bookseller" a timeless quality and charm that continues to captivate art lovers worldwide.
