In the year of 1999, Tew Nai Tong embarked on an expedition to Paris with the intention of painting historical architectural landmarks, which led to a series of works depicting the charming cultural city. In an article titled The Battle For Identity, Tew Nai Tong: Village Life Series and Fantasy Series, W.Y.Choy wrote “The Parisian paintings of 1999 - 2002, which are in sharp contrast to the prerequisites of the Southeast Asian paintings, will serve as a prominent testimony to Nai Tong’s artistic diversity.” The painting depicts a beautiful street scene portraying Notre Dame and the representation of winter in the landscape. By using delicate shades of blue and brown hues, Nai Tong gave us the atmosphere and the rustic charm of the Parisian winters.
