Suze Advertising Electric Tram, Lively Street Scene, Circa 1925, Oil On Canvas, Signed

An interesting interwar urban scene depicting an electric streetcar with red and cream-colored bodywork, featuring an advertisement for the famous SUZE aperitif brand on its upper section.

The composition vividly captures the bustle of a 1920s shopping street: passersby, strollers, a baby carriage, and tram traffic all coexist in a particularly evocative urban atmosphere.

The loose, spontaneous brushwork, warm tones, and color contrasts give this painting a lively and endearing character.

Beyond its artistic merit, this work offers an interesting glimpse into the history of urban transportation and commercial advertising on public transit vehicles.

The canvas is signed in the lower left corner with a legible signature reading “L’Huiller.”

The connection to the painter Jacques L’Huillier (1867–?), whose works are notably represented in the collections of the Petit Palais in Paris, offers an intriguing line of attribution, though no formal identification has been made to date.

The location of the scene is unidentified.

Date: circa 1925.

Technique: oil on canvas.

Dimensions: 27 × 35 cm.

Signature: lower left, “L’Huiller” (proposed reading).
