“The House of Mimi Pinson in Montmartre” is a Post-Impressionist oil on panel cityscape by the artist Maurice Utrillo. Measuring 46 x 61 cm, this artwork resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a quintessentially Montmartre scene characterized by its narrow, winding streets and distinct urban architecture. Buildings with red-tiled rooftops and white chimneys are rendered in muted tones, capturing the quaint charm of the Parisian neighborhood. There is a slight descent in the street suggesting the hilly nature of Montmartre. The textures and hues employed by Utrillo give the painting a somber, yet intimate atmosphere, evocative of a quiet moment in a bustling city. The detail in the brushwork and the play of light and shadow adds a depth that invites the viewer to explore the serene urban landscape.
