"Quai du la Tournelle.' Title is the location. A popular Parisian subject.

Thank you @Debora
That was quick. Now for the artist ?

I see something like "Luander." Don't think artist's name and title are by the same hand, by way.

Lander to my eye. Bouquinistes along the Seine.

 

Thanks for looking everyone.
Could it be this artist? No information though.

These types of paintings are typically souvenir art. Artists' names could be the same but paintings don't appear to be by the same artist.

From what I can gather your artist is a Paris street artist either named Leaudu or Leandu , most likely the first.Seems to have produced a lot of Paris street scenes around 50s /60s,some on Etsy and Worthpoint.

 

Is Leaudu a proper name?
I keep reading Leander or Liander, both are real names.

 

Leandu is a boys name,possibly the artist used their first name instead of surname.

 

Leander or Liander are boy's names as well as surnames.
Maybe some people on the forum have heard of Zarah Leander, a beautiful Swedish actress and singer.

 

I think @Antiquefab got it!
Leaudu!
Thanks to all!
Mikey

 

The French auction house Drouot says Leaudu too.
