Woman in a Blue Coat
£560
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling mid-century modern figurative composition that portrays a seated female figure rendered through a cubist lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

Wearing a striking cobalt-blue coat and an elaborate floral hat, the figure occupies a loosely defined interior setting populated by still-life elements including bottles, a keyboard, and geometric furnishings. The artist blends portraiture and abstraction, creating a scene that feels both intimate and psychologically distant, with the sitter’s downcast gaze lending the work a contemplative, almost melancholic atmosphere.

The painting demonstrates strong influences of Cubism. Forms are fragmented into angular planes and intersecting lines, with the figure and surrounding objects dissolved into a network of geometric shapes. Rather than striving for realism, the artist focuses on structure, rhythm, and emotional expression, allowing the composition to oscillate between representation and abstraction.

The colour palette is sophisticated and restrained, dominated by rich blues, soft greys, muted creams, and earthy browns. Accents of pale turquoise, dusty pink, and burgundy introduce warmth and visual interest, particularly within the sitter’s hat and the surrounding still-life elements. The cool tones of the figure’s clothing provide a strong focal point against the quieter, atmospheric background.

Brushwork is expressive and varied, combining thin washes with broader applications of paint. Deliberate black contour lines define forms and reinforce the painting’s architectural structure, while areas of dry-brushed pigment and visible canvas texture contribute to its tactile quality.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary wood frame with gilt detailing to the outer moulding. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Along the Blue Coast
£545
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid-century modernist landscape that distils a coastal scene into a series of simplified shapes and harmonious colour fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling greenery, pale hillside forms, and a deep blue sea are reduced to their essential elements, creating a composition that feels both abstract and recognisably rooted in nature.

The artist employs a distinctly modernist approach, favouring flat planes of colour over detailed representation. Houses emerge from the landscape as geometric forms, their pale facades and muted terracotta roofs nestled amongst rounded masses of foliage. The result is a composition that balances abstraction with a strong sense of place, evoking the warmth and tranquillity of a Mediterranean coastal setting.

The palette is beautifully restrained, dominated by soft sage greens, pale mint tones, cool greys, and varying shades of blue. These colours create a gentle rhythm across the surface, while subtle contrasts between the dark foliage and luminous architectural forms provide depth and visual structure. The expansive blue sea and sky lend the work a calm, contemplative atmosphere.

Brushwork is confident. Broad, deliberate applications of paint define the landscape through shape rather than detail, while visible texture and vertical traces within the paint surface reveal the artist’s hand. The slightly uneven application of colour enhances the work’s tactile quality, reinforcing its modernist character and lending warmth to its simplified forms.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim cream-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks.

Blossoms & Fruit
£495
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style still life that presents a luminous arrangement of flowers and fruit, executed in oil onto board.

At the centre, a white ceramic vase holds a lively bouquet of blossoms: soft blue, deep red, vivid yellow and indigo – set against a dramatic background of shadowed navy and pale grey. The floral forms are loosely defined yet full of character, capturing the spontaneity and freshness of a moment observed.

Below, an assortment of apples, plums and a single green pear are scattered casually across the tabletop. Their rounded forms and warm tones create a pleasing counterbalance to the vertical elegance of the vase. A patterned drape in soft blue with warm rust-orange accents adds depth and a gentle theatricality to the composition.

The palette is harmonious and inviting: cool blues and greys contrasted with bright fruit tones and fresh greens. Brushstrokes are expressive but controlled, with soft blending in the background and more decisive, painterly marks in the flowers and fruit. The overall effect is one of warmth, vibrancy and quiet domestic charm – an appealing example of mid-century still-life painting that brings both colour and calm to any interior.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of wear to the inner frame as shown in the photos.

Divided Form

Sold

SOLD

A compelling mid-century abstract composition that presents a fragmented, almost architectural figure suspended within a carefully balanced geometric space, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Johnsson (1917–2007), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Sweden, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and the Skåne Art Association.

Bisected by a vertical band, the form appears simultaneously concealed and revealed, inviting contemplation of identity, duality, and perception. A solitary circular shape floats to the right, introducing a symbolic counterpoint to the central structure.

Executed in a modernist style, the painting combines abstraction with subtle figurative references. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, relying on simplified forms, strong verticality, and a restrained visual language. The interplay between organic curves and rigid geometry creates a quiet sense of tension and balance.

The palette is earthy and sophisticated, centred around warm chestnut browns, softened by creamy whites, muted olive greens, and passages of charcoal black and bright yellow . A delicate blush tone within the central form adds warmth and depth, while the pale circular motif introduces a gentle luminosity.

Brushwork is understated yet expressive. Thinly applied layers allow the texture of the canvas to remain visible, lending the work a tactile quality. Softly blended transitions contrast with more sharply defined edges, creating a subtle push and pull between solidity and atmosphere. The result is a contemplative and highly refined abstract painting that rewards prolonged viewing.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim wood frame, whose warm honey-toned shade complements the earthy palette. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Bouquet in Afternoon Light
£450
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century still life that captures a delicate bouquet of pink, blue, and white flowers arranged in a rounded ceramic vase, placed atop a bold, geometric tablecloth, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The composition radiates warmth and domestic intimacy, as slanting beams of golden light suggest a late afternoon interior illuminated by natural sunlight filtering through blinds.

The style is clean and structured, yet painterly, with evident brushstrokes that lend a tactile quality to the petals and textiles. The artist has juxtaposed organic floral forms with sharp-angled background planes and a checkered tablecloth, creating a subtle tension between softness and structure.

The colour palette is both earthy and vibrant – olive greens, ochres, and mustard tones set a calm backdrop for the vivid magentas, cobalt blues, and whites of the flowers. The folds of the tablecloth and the reflected light on the vase are rendered with sensitivity to form and texture, giving the work a composed yet inviting atmosphere.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary hessian-lined frame with an inner gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Pastel Settlement
£620
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A soothing mid-century modernist composition that reduces a landscape to its essential forms, transforming a familiar rural scene into a harmonious arrangement of colour, shape, and space, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of simplified buildings sits along the horizon, their geometric silhouettes emerging from broad fields of muted earth tones and soft pastel hues. The result is a landscape that feels both recognisable and abstracted, balancing observation with artistic interpretation.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the artist dispenses with descriptive detail in favour of large, carefully structured planes of colour. The composition is thoughtfully constructed, with horizontal bands of land and sky intersected by the angular forms of houses and rooftops. This simplification creates a sense of calm order and architectural rhythm, recalling the restrained aesthetic of European post-war modernism.

The palette is particularly refined, comprising delicate lavender, pale cream, blush pink, sage green, dusty blue-grey, and warm earthy browns. These softened colours lend the work a quiet luminosity and contemplative mood, while subtle tonal variations create depth without disrupting the painting’s overall serenity.

Brushwork is restrained yet expressive. Broad, confident applications of paint leave visible traces of the artist’s hand, with softly textured surfaces and gently uneven edges contributing warmth and character. The paint is applied in flat, matte passages, emphasising form and colour relationships, allowing the composition’s elegant simplicity to take centre stage.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim white-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs and marks.

A charming mid-century modernist still life that presents a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a stylised lilac jug, a bowl filled with green fruit, and a sliced fruit resting alongside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.

Containing elements of abstraction, the artist reduces each object to simplified geometric forms, creating a harmonious balance between shape, colour, and space.

The painting is executed in a restrained modernist style, with flattened forms and an emphasis on pattern and structure over detail.

Presence in Shadow
£775
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A compelling and emotive mid-century abstract figurative composition that presents a solitary seated figure reduced to a series of expressive, interlocking forms, executed in oil onto board.

The subject emerges from the surface through broad passages of dark paint, with the head and torso only loosely defined, inviting the viewer to engage with the work on an emotional rather than literal level. The figure appears suspended between abstraction and representation, conveying a sense of quiet introspection and psychological depth.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting demonstrates the influence of post-war European abstraction, where gesture, structure, and atmosphere take precedence over precise detail. The composition is carefully balanced, with the dark central mass contrasted against a luminous and softly modulated background.

The palette is restrained yet sophisticated, featuring charcoal black, slate grey, warm yellows, sandy beige, cream, and touches of muted blue. These subtle colour relationships create a gentle luminosity that softens the otherwise powerful silhouette of the figure.

Brushwork is confident and highly tactile, with thick impasto passages and visible palette-knife marks lending the surface considerable texture. Layered strokes overlap and intersect across the canvas, revealing the artist’s process and creating a rich interplay of movement and solidity. The resulting composition possesses both strength and sensitivity, capturing the essence of the human form through abstraction.

This oil on board is presented in a complementary light ash-toned wood frame with a gently stepped profile. The painting is in good vintage condition overall. There is some craquelure visible across areas of the painted surface, consistent with the age of the work; however, it appears stable and does not detract from the overall presentation.

The Quiet Within
£485
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A striking mid-century portrait that captures a female figure in profile with her with her eyes gently closed, immersed in a moment of quiet reflection, executed in oil onto canvas.

Her simplified features, wrapped headscarf, and composed posture lend the work a sense of serenity and inner contemplation. Rather than engaging the viewer directly, the figure appears absorbed in her own thoughts, creating an atmosphere of calm dignity and introspection.

The artist has used simplified forms and broad planes of colour rather than detailed realism. The figure is constructed through confident shapes, creating a powerful presence while retaining an air of softness and introspection. The profile view recalls the refined portraiture of mid-century European modernism, where character is conveyed through form, colour, and mood rather than precise detail.

The palette is beautifully balanced, combining warm earth tones, deep charcoal blacks, muted greens, creamy whites, and delicate blush-pink hues in the background. These colours create a harmonious contrast, with the subtle pink ground imparting a gentle luminosity that enhances the figure’s silhouette.

Brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible painterly strokes and layered applications of paint contributing texture and depth. Areas of exposed underpainting and softened edges reinforce the work’s spontaneous, expressive quality, while the confident handling of colour and form imbues the portrait with timeless sophistication.

This oil on canvas is presented in an attractive frame with a warm gilt-toned finish and cream inner slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is a small loss to the bottom left corner of the frame but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

Available

Free UK Shipping Only.

An intimate mid-century interior painting that captures a domestic room bathed in soft daylight, executed in oil onto canvas.

A simple arrangement of furniture: a central table, sideboard, chair, and decorative stand is positioned around a large window, through which glimpses of greenery and sky provide a sense of openness and calm. The composition celebrates the beauty of everyday interiors, transforming an ordinary living space into a study of light, atmosphere, and form.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the artist simplifies the furnishings into geometric shapes and broad planes of colour. The perspective is intentionally relaxed and slightly flattened, lending the work an intimate, spontaneous quality.

The palette is warm and inviting, dominated by earthy terracotta, russet, ochre, and soft beige tones, balanced by cool accents of pale blue, slate grey, and muted turquoise. Sunlight streaming through the window creates subtle contrasts of warm and cool hues, animating the room with a gentle luminosity.

Brushwork is confident and expressive, with visible directional strokes and areas of loosely applied paint. The artist employs a combination of dry-brush textures, layered washes, and energetic mark-making, allowing the structure of the composition to emerge through painterly gesture rather than precise detail. This lively handling gives the painting a sense of immediacy and warmth, perfectly complementing its tranquil subject matter.

Where the Water Turns

Sold

SOLD

A calm and atmospheric contemporary abstract landscape composition that captures the quiet grandeur of a lake or reservoir nestled within a sweeping valley, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2002.

The scene unfolds from an elevated viewpoint, with a broad expanse of silvery water cutting through dark wooded hills and receding into a distant horizon. In the foreground, a vibrant band of burnt orange terrain introduces warmth and energy, creating a dramatic contrast against the cool, atmospheric landscape beyond.

Executed in a semi-abstract style, the artist reduces the natural world to simplified forms and expansive colour fields, emphasising mood and spatial depth over fine detail. The composition balances geometric structure with painterly expression, lending the work a contemplative and almost dreamlike quality.

The palette is both restrained and evocative, dominated by soft greys, slate blues, charcoal blacks, and misty whites, punctuated by luminous passages of orange. These warm foreground tones draw the eye into the composition and suggest the fleeting colours of autumn against an otherwise tranquil landscape.

Brushwork varies throughout the surface, from broad, sweeping applications of paint in the sky and water to more textured, layered strokes within the wooded hills. Subtle vertical marks and dry-brush effects create movement and atmosphere, while the smooth treatment of the water lends the composition a sense of stillness and quiet reflection. The result is a powerful and atmospheric work that bridges abstraction and landscape painting with elegance and restraint.

A charming mid-century still life that captures a carefully arranged collection of apples, ceramic ware, and draped textiles bathed in warm, radiant light, executed in oil onto canvas.

A soft green pitcher stands prominently among a gathering of freshly picked apples, while a decorative plate and floral-patterned fabric provide a richly textured backdrop. The composition celebrates the beauty of everyday objects, transforming a simple domestic scene into a study of colour, light, and abundance.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the painting balances realism with a gentle decorative sensibility. The artist simplifies forms and emphasises harmonious relationships between shape, colour, and pattern, creating a composition that feels both intimate and uplifting. The arrangement is thoughtfully constructed, guiding the eye through the interplay of fruit, ceramics, and flowing fabric.

The palette is joyful, dominated by glowing yellows, warm oranges, soft reds, and creamy whites. Delicate touches of blue and green in the patterned cloth and ceramics introduce a refreshing contrast, while the sunlit backdrop infuses the entire work with warmth and vitality. The resulting atmosphere is one of comfort, optimism, and domestic elegance.

Brushwork is fluid and expressive, with soft, painterly strokes used to model the apples and folds of fabric. Light is handled with particular sensitivity, creating subtle highlights and gentle transitions that lend the composition depth and movement.

Sicily
£420
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming mid century original landscape painting of Taormina in Sicily, executed in oil onto board.

The work captures the Mediterranean’s timeless appeal through a soft, impressionistic lens. The composition looks out across a sunlit coastal garden toward the tranquil blue sea.

A graceful palm tree rises against a pale sky, acting as a vertical anchor amid the horizontal sweep of sea and shoreline. In the foreground, flowering borders burst with colours of reds, yellows, blues, and greens rendered in delicate, dappled brushstrokes. A large terracotta urn overflowing with blooms adds a distinctly Mediterranean character, while white terraces and garden walls guide the eye gently through the composition.

The artist employs a light, atmospheric palette of sea blues, sage greens, soft creams, and warm earth tones, evoking the hazy warmth of a Sicilian afternoon. Rather than focusing on precise detail, the painting captures the mood and sensation of place: the scent of flowers on warm air, the shimmer of sunlight on water, and the leisurely elegance of a coastal garden overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Trees in Autumn
£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A very pleasant mid-century landscape painting that captures a tranquil parkland scene dominated by two majestic trees in the height of autumn, executed in oil onto board.

Their leaves, rendered in rich ochres, burnt oranges, olive greens, and deep umbers, create a natural archway over a gently sloping lawn. A winding path leads the viewer’s eye through the composition, while distant foliage and open sky provide a sense of depth and quiet solitude. The scene celebrates the fleeting beauty of the changing seasons.

Stylistically, the work reflects the expressive sensibilities of mid-century landscape painting, balancing observation with painterly interpretation. The composition is simplified into broad, harmonious forms, with an emphasis on atmosphere rather than precise detail. The trees become almost sculptural masses of colour, lending the painting a strong sense of structure and presence.

The palette is warm and earthy, centred around golden browns, rust reds, olive greens, and deep forest tones, all set against a clear blue sky. These contrasting hues create a luminous autumnal glow while maintaining a restrained and sophisticated colour harmony.

Brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Layered, textured strokes build the dense foliage, while thinner, more gestural marks define the trunks and pathways. The surface reveals the artist’s hand, with visible brushstrokes and subtle variations in paint application contributing to the painting’s depth, movement, and tactile quality.

A warm and evocative landscape that captures the emotional essence of returning to a familiar place, executed in oil onto board.

Rather than focusing on precise detail, the artist distils the scene into interlocking planes of colour, allowing memory and atmosphere to take centre stage.

Soft lilacs, warm golds, pale turquoise blues, and delicate pinks bathe the scene in a gentle light. The colours feel remembered rather than observed, suggesting the emotional landscape of “home” rather than a literal location. Thick, confident brushstrokes and layers of paint add texture and movement, giving the work a vibrant, tactile presence.

The painting balances abstraction and representation beautifully. Houses, water, hills, and pathways are all recognisable, yet they dissolve into a harmonious arrangement of colour and shape.

Coral Sunset
£755
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A vibrant and highly expressive mid century modern coastal scene, painted in oil by the established Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

The painting captures a lively beach bathed in the glow of a dramatic setting sun. Stylised bathers and scattered logs animate the shoreline, while rocky outcrops frame a shimmering sea beneath a radiant coral-pink sky.

Rendered in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist has reduced forms to bold silhouettes and expressive outlines, favouring emotional impact over realism as colour, atmosphere, and gesture take precedence over fine detail. The result is energetic and playful.

The palette is dominated by luminous coral pinks, salmon reds, and warm orange-red tones, contrasted by cool blue-grey rocks and touches of black linework. The vibrant red sun acts as the visual anchor of the composition, while the pale beach and sparkling sea create a dynamic interplay between warmth and coolness.

Bold, confident brushwork animates every surface of the painting. The sky is constructed with vigorous directional strokes radiating outward from the setting sun, creating a sense of light and movement. Across the water, thick dabs and broken passages of paint suggest sparkling reflections, while the figures and rocks are rendered with brisk, gestural marks and expressive outlines. The visible impasto and energetic handling of paint contribute to the work’s immediacy and charm.

This oil on canvas is presented in a beautiful gilt frame with a layered profile that adds character to the painting. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

The landscape unfolds in layers of soft golds, muted greens, russet reds, and dusky mauves, creating a patchwork of fields and vegetation that feels both observed and imagined. A hillside rises across the middle ground, dotted with delicate tree forms rendered as decorative marks and textured clusters, giving the scene a tapestry-like quality.

The title suggests that the landscape is shaped by the enduring presence of old boundary walls—those subtle human interventions that become absorbed into the natural rhythms of the land over time. The pale, serpentine line crossing the composition acts as both a visual guide and a reminder of the history embedded in the terrain.

The artist’s handling of paint is expressive and atmospheric. Layers of translucent colour, scratching, and textured brushwork create a sense of depth and weathered age. Rather than describing every detail, she evokes the feeling of a landscape shaped by seasons, memory, and time.

This oil on canvas is framed in a custom made wide profile frame that suits it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

Severn Haze
£460
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A luminous and atmospheric landscape that captures the fleeting beauty of the Severn estuary through colour, light, and abstraction, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rather than describing the landscape in detail, the artist evokes its atmosphere. The painting seems to hover between observation and memory, where forms are softened and edges blurred by moisture in the air. This sense of haze is central to the work, lending it a dreamlike tranquillity and a feeling of vast open space.

The palette is especially striking. Cool aquatic blues and mint greens are balanced by touches of blush pink and buttery yellow, creating a gentle harmony that recalls the changing light of early morning or late afternoon. Loose brushwork and translucent layers allow colours to merge and glow, suggesting reflections, shifting weather, and the ever-changing character of the estuary landscape.

There is a strong sense of calm throughout the painting. The broad horizontal bands of land, water, and sky create a meditative rhythm, while the distant hill anchors the composition and gives it a sense of permanence amid the shifting light.

Coastal Curve
£750
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene and uplifting mid-century modernist coastal landscape painting, executed in oil onto board.

Muted tones of green, grey, and earthy taupe dominate the land, while the sea is rendered in serene blues punctuated by white sails, adding rhythm and motion to the horizon. The sky, a dusty olive-grey, creates a harmonious counterbalance to the grounded palette below.

This oil on board is housed in very well suited wood frame. there is some wear on the left edge of the painting where it meets the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall. The frame has very minor scuffing.

£445
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A charming and expressive mid-century coastal landscape captures a serene moment along a gently sloping shoreline, executed in oil onto canvas.

A cluster of simplified cottages, most notably a vivid red cabin, rests amid rolling green fields that descend toward a calm, expansive sea. Sparse verticals, likely masts, rise behind the houses, lending a subtle rhythm and structure to the composition. The horizon is soft and unobtrusive, allowing the land and architecture to take visual precedence while still evoking the openness of the coast.

Executed in a loose, painterly style characteristic of mid-century modern landscapes, the work embraces a balance between abstraction and representation. Forms are reduced and slightly angular, with an emphasis on shape and colour over fine detail. The composition feels spontaneous yet considered, with confident placement of each element guiding the eye from the foreground slope to the distant water.

The palette is fresh and uplifting – cool turquoise blues for the sky and sea contrast beautifully with the varied greens of the land. Creamy whites of the cottages add lightness, while the red cabin provides a striking focal point, anchoring the scene with warmth. Earthy undertones and soft ochres near the shoreline suggest sand and sunlit ground.

Brushstrokes are expressive and assured, applied with a certain immediacy. Broad, sweeping strokes define the landscape, while shorter, more deliberate marks articulate the buildings and foliage. There is a tactile quality to the paint surface, with visible layering that enhances depth and movement without overworking the scene.

Overall, the painting exudes a quiet, contemplative charm: an intimate glimpse of coastal life rendered with warmth, simplicity, and painterly confidence.

Veils of Light
£465
Available

Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

A serene mid-century modern composition that evokes a dreamlike architectural landscape suspended between reality and memory, executed in oil onto board.

Monumental geometric forms emerge from a luminous mist, their sharp angles softened by an atmosphere of stillness and quiet contemplation. In the distance, delicate buildings and slender sailboats appear almost as apparitions, while a solitary sphere and folded plane-like forms in the foreground introduce a subtle surrealist tension.

Rendered in a restrained palette of icy blues, pearl whites, silvery greys, and blushes of lavender, the painting is suffused with a cool, ethereal light. The artist masterfully employs tonal gradation rather than strong contrast, allowing forms to dissolve gently into one another and creating a sense of vast, open space.

The style reflects the refined elegance of mid-century modernism, combining geometric abstraction with elements of surrealist painting. Architectural volumes are reduced to their essential shapes, lending the work a contemplative quality.

Brushwork is exceptionally smooth and controlled, with finely blended layers producing a soft, almost airbrushed appearance. Subtle horizontal strokes in the sky and delicate transitions of tone throughout the composition contribute to the painting’s tranquil atmosphere, while crisp edges on the geometric forms provide structure and balance. The result is a poetic meditation on light, space, and silence.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary silver-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.

Size: 48 x 55.5 cm (including frame)
