Description
On the Champ de Mars, an old man in a beret has painted the Eiffel Tower every day for twenty years. Tourists ask him why he never tires of it, and he always gives the same answer: “Because she is never the same twice.” Some mornings she is pink with sunrise, some afternoons silver in the rain, some evenings glittering gold.
This charming easel box captures the tower mid-portrait, propped up as though the artist has just stepped away to clean a brush. Miniature tubes of paint lie ready, the kind of detail that makes people lean in and smile. It is a wonderful conversation piece for a home, a studio or a classroom, and a perfect gift for a Francophile, an art student, a traveler just back from Paris or someone still dreaming of the trip. Each tiny tube looks freshly squeezed, as though the painter has only just begun to mix the colors of a Paris sunset.
