    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An expressive mid-century oil painting depicts a sweeping landscape view, freshly awakened with the vitality of spring, executed in oil onto board.

    The land stretches broadly under an expansive sky, the furrowed fields rendered in warm browns, yellow, and soft greens, suggesting freshly turned soil and new growth. Patches of verdant green brushstrokes punctuate the earth, hinting at the season’s renewal, while clusters of trees appear on the horizon, their foliage painted in luminous tones of green.

    The style is painterly and expressive, with bold, gestural strokes that convey the texture of the earth and the gentle energy of the season. The artist’s use of textured brushstrokes and layered colour adds depth and rhythm, allowing the viewer to sense both movement and stillness within the landscape. The pale sky, rendered in soft whites and cool blues, emphasises the openness of the scene and provides a delicate contrast to the richness of the fields below.

    Stylistically, the work balances naturalistic observation with painterly abstraction – the forms are suggested rather than detailed, allowing colour and gesture to evoke the mood of the land.

    This oil on board is presented in a complementary gilt frame.  The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a very small loss to its corner top left corner.

  • Tabletop Still Life with Fish

    Tabletop Still Life with Fish

    £495

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and expressive mid-century still life painting that depicts a rustic tabletop arrangement, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The composition presents two elongated fish that rest prominently upon a wooden cutting board. Alongside them are three deep red onions, a stout bottle with a cork, and a tin. Additional small objects are scattered across the scene, creating a sense of domestic simplicity.

    Executed in bold, expressive brushstrokes, the artist has used a palette of earthy reds, cool blues, muted greens, and creamy whites, offset by the dramatic dark tones of the draped cloth beneath the objects. The composition balances sharp diagonals with rounded forms, adding rhythm and dynamism to the still life. The painter’s loose, textured strokes and layered colours capture the raw materiality of each item without striving for perfect realism, instead evoking mood and movement.

    The overall effect is both vigorous and intimate – a celebration of everyday objects through the lens of modernist mid-century sensibilities.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a wood frame with a pale natural grain and an inner silver border, which complements the rustic subject matter and enhances the vibrancy of the painted surface. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Town by the Sea

    Town by the Sea

    £500

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A modernist style cityscape painting that captures a serene coastal town scene, executed in oil onto board and dated 1974.

    The composition is dominated by the silhouette of an old stone ruin at its centre, set against the backdrop of a calm sea and expansive sky. Clustered houses with terracotta-red and ochre rooftops surround the structure, their geometric forms contrasting with the organic shapes of dark green trees and cypress spires. A distant ship with a faint plume of smoke drifts across the horizon, adding a subtle sense of movement to the otherwise still composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet evocative style, the painting demonstrates the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: simplified architectural forms, bold blocks of colour, and an emphasis on light and shadow over fine detail. The palette is dominated by earthy reds, warm ochres, deep greens, soft greys, and cool blues, evoking both warmth and calm. Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with flat planes of colour that interlock like pieces of a puzzle, while hints of texture enliven the sky and foliage.

    Overall, the work conveys a quiet nostalgia – an atmospheric balance between human habitation, architectural history, and the vast, timeless presence of the sea.

    This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary linen-lined wood frame. There is some light surface craquelure present in the central area of the canvas, but the overall condition is stable.

    Figure in a Carriage

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An evocative semi-abstract mid-century modernist figurative painting executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. 

    The composition captures the fleeting impression of a lone passenger illuminated by an unseen light source- perhaps the outside world glimpsed through a carriage window.

    The painting is semi-abstract, with blocks of textured pigment forming the suggestion of a figure framed by architectural shapes that recall the interior of a carriage.

    The palette is a masterful interplay of deep browns, blackened greens, and oxblood reds, punctuated by soft corals, pale peach, and a sliver of white that slices the darkness like a beam of light. Heavy impasto brushwork adds physical depth, while the confident horizontal and vertical strokes convey the structure of motion and confinement.

    There’s a poetic stillness to the work – an intimate moment caught in transit, abstracted through modernist sensibility yet rich in narrative potential.

    Harbour in Hues

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist harbour scene that captures the liveliness of a bustling port through an abstracted lens, executed in oil onto board.

    The composition features stylised boats with tall masts, cranes, and sails, all arranged in a rhythmic balance that evokes both movement and stillness. A triangular sail anchors the right side of the canvas, while geometric ship structures rise on the left, framed against a luminous sky.

    The artist has used a modernist, semi-abstract style, reducing forms to simplified shapes and colour blocks while maintaining recognisable nautical motifs. The colour palette is fresh and expressive: soft yellows and muted greys provide a serene backdrop, while accents of bright red, orange, and yellow inject energy and contrast.

    The brushstrokes are confident and varied. This interplay of texture adds depth and dynamism, suggesting reflections on water and the shifting atmosphere of a harbour at work.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame with traces of gilt and muted red accent. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

  • Memory of a Coast

    Memory of a Coast

    £595

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A long and serene mid-century abstract landscape that captures the quiet expanse of a coastal scene, distilled into soft geometric fields of colour, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956.

    Blocks of pale blue, sandy beige, and warm cream suggest shifting sands, shallow waters, and reflected light, while two muted brown landforms anchor the horizon line. The overall composition evokes the sensation of gazing at the shoreline through a veil of haze or memory, where form dissolves into atmosphere.

    The style is reductive and modernist, leaning toward abstraction while retaining the impression of sea, sky, and land. Broad, flat planes of colour are applied with gentle brushstrokes that reveal subtle texture beneath the surface, while thin, almost translucent layers give a sense of light filtering through. The palette is soothing and harmonious, dominated by sky blues and sandy neutrals with touches of earthy brown, evoking serenity and openness.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wooden frame, with natural woodgrain visible. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    £485

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century still life painting that presents an abstract yet structured arrangement of everyday objects, painted in oil onto board.

    A white pitcher, a brass candleholder with a partially burned candle, and a blue-handled pan are depicted resting atop a dark wooden table. The background is muted green, providing a subdued contrast to the bold, simplified forms.

    The painting embraces a Cubist-inspired style, characterised by geometric abstraction and angular distortions. The objects are deconstructed into sharp-edged planes, lending the composition a sculptural quality.

    The colour palette is earthy and restrained, featuring shades of green, beige, blue, and brown, with accents of gold in the candleholder. The brushstrokes are expressive, adding depth and a sense of movement to the otherwise still arrangement.

  • Village Pathway

    Village Pathway

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking mid-century modernist painting that captures a female figure walking along a village pathway, gracefully balancing a vessel on her head, executed in oil onto board.

    The woman, dressed in a flowing blue skirt and dark top, is set against a backdrop of geometric, almost abstracted row of houses that recede rhythmically into the distance.

    Modernist in its ethos, the artist has reduced the scene into bold, flattened forms and simplified shapes. There’s a more structured feel in the angular rooftops and the faceted treatment of architecture and landscape, while the figure maintains a sense of movement and gesture.

    The colour palette is muted, with gentle contrasts between warm and cool tones. The bright blue of the skirt stands out as a focal point, anchoring the viewer’s eye.

    The paint is applied with deliberate, confident strokes – thick and flat in some areas, with visible texture. The brushwork emphasises shape and form over fine detail, enhancing the painting’s graphic, almost mosaic-like quality.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner cream border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

    A mid-century figurative painting depicts a group of figures walking side by side through a quiet coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The suggestion of the sea can be seen in the background, framed by simple geometric rooftops and houses rendered in muted tones. The figures appear almost sculpted from the paint itself, evoking a sense of companionship.

    Executed in an expressive modernist style, the artist has used broad brushstrokes and thick impasto to build texture and depth. The palette is dominated by cool greys, muted blues, soft creams, and earthy neutrals, creating a subdued yet harmonious composition. The simplified forms and blurred facial features lend the work an introspective and contemplative atmosphere, placing emphasis on mood and structure over detail.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small mark at its top right corner but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

    Cottages by the Coast

    £685

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A serene mid-century coastal landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

    this painting captures a cluster of whitewashed houses with red roofs nestled amongst greenery, leading down toward the open expanse of sea. A winding sandy path moves through the centre of the scene, guiding the viewer’s eye from the foreground village to the calm water and distant headlands on the horizon.

    Executed in a modernist mid-century style, the artist has reduced forms to bold, simplified shapes, giving the scene a structured yet tranquil quality. The emphasis is on composition and tonal balance rather than fine detail.

    The colour palette is harmonious with soft greys and muted blues dominating the sky and water. Deep greens define the trees and foliage, offset by creamy whites of the buildings and the warm terracotta and russet hues of the roofs.

    The brushwork is broad, flat, and assured, with blocks of colour laid down in an almost geometric manner. Visible, textured strokes lend energy and tactility to the surface, while the overall handling reinforces the sense of quiet order and calm in the scene.

    This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Tulips in a Blue Vase

    Tulips in a Blue Vase

    £490

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed floral still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1947 on the reverse.

    This painting is a still life depicting a bouquet of tulips in a blue vase. The flowers have dark red and purple petals with white edges, and their stems and leaves are long and curved. The background features broad, textured brushstrokes in muted browns, blues, and purples, creating a moody atmosphere. The table surface is painted in light tones of cream and greenish hues, contrasting the darker backdrop.

    The colours in this painting don’t shout, they whisper, giving the painting a soft, contemplative silence. There’s a tangible calm, as if time has slowed down just long enough to notice the fleeting moment.

    The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, with visible strokes that suggest movement and texture. The artist seems to use a technique where the individual strokes build form rather than smooth blending, adding a painterly quality.

    Tulips, often associated with love and rebirth, are shown here slightly wilted and heavy—perhaps representing impermanence or the bittersweet nature of memory. The heavy lean of the stems feels like a surrender to gravity, a soft echo of time’s pull.

    This oil on board is presented in very well made wood frame with an inner brown border, which suits the painting impeccably. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Cacti by the Window

    Cacti by the Window

    £475

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An elegant mid-century still life that captures a charming scene of three potted plants arranged along a windowsill and silhouetted against an exterior scene of houses, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1947.

    The central cactus dominates the composition with its upright, almost sculptural form, flanked by 2 other leafy plants on its sides. Through the window, the viewer glimpses a townscape with brown and red buildings, softened by pale skies and winter-bare trees.

    Painted in an expressive style, the work fuses still life with urban landscape. It is representational but simplified, with a strong emphasis on shape, form, and the interplay between interior and exterior space. The artist captures not just the plants themselves, but also the mood of the scene – a quiet, contemplative moment of domestic life through the use of earthy muted shades.

    The brushwork is bold and textured, with a rough, impasto application that gives the surface a tactile quality. Forms are built up through broad, confident strokes, while details are pared back to essentials, creating a sense of rhythm and structure.

    This oil on board is beautifully presented in a well-suited wooden frame with an inner gilt border. The work itself is in good vintage condition, with two small pin holes to the top section when inspected closely (one at the middle of the top edge and another near the blossoming tree) – which do not detract from its overall impression. The frame is also in good condition with minor surface wear.

    Rooftops in Rhythm

    £575

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A lively mid-century oil painting that captures a tightly woven urban street scene, composed of overlapping rooftops and clustered facades, executed in oil onto board.

    The artist has reduced the architecture into simplified geometric planes, creating a rhythmic patchwork of shapes that echo the rise and fall of a townscape. A crisp white house with a bold terracotta roof stands at the center, anchoring the composition, while a striking teal roof to the left provides a vibrant counterbalance.

    Executed in a modernist, almost cubist-inspired manner, the piece emphasises flattened forms and spatial compression rather than strict realism. The brushstrokes are controlled yet textured, with clear delineations that carve out the roofs and walls in confident blocks of colour.

    The palette blends earthy reds, deep browns, and muted greys with contrasting highlights of creamy whites and a vivid turquoise. The restrained use of pastel lilacs and dusky pinks softens the angular geometry, lending warmth to the architectural study.Broad, solid brushstrokes define the rooftops with minimal blending, creating sharp contrasts between each plane. The overall application feels deliberate and structured, reinforcing the sense of order within the crowded composition.

    This oil on board is presented in a very well suited linen-lined frame with an outer and inner grey border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some age wear but it is in good stable condition.

    At the forefront sits a luminous white teapot, its rounded form catching light and contrasting with the tall, shadowy silhouettes of bottles behind it. The background features muted geometric shapes, suggesting furniture or architectural forms, further emphasising the structured balance of the composition.

    The artist has used a restrained palette of earthy browns, muted greys, soft creams, and cool blues, creating a subdued yet harmonious tonal range. The brushstrokes are confident and textural, with thick, layered applications of paint that bring a tactile quality to the surface. The strokes vary between broad, sweeping movements in the background and more controlled, angular marks on the objects, lending the painting a dynamic rhythm.

    A small but very striking still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1978, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting presents a carefully balanced arrangement of fruit upon a wooden surface. At the centre sits a vivid cobalt-blue bowl, cradling a bright yellow lemon and a tightly clustered bunch of deep purple grapes, accented with a bold green leaf. Surrounding the bowl are five pears in varying tones of green and brown, their organic forms adding rhythm and balance to the composition.

    The artist has used a simplified, almost sculptural style, emphasising solid blocks of colour and clear outlines over intricate detail. The palette is bold and saturated, contrasting jewel-like purples and blues against earthy browns and greens, with the lemon’s intense yellow providing a sharp highlight. The brushwork is confident yet controlled, with smooth, flat applications of paint that create a sense of weight and presence.

    The background is rendered in horizontal bands of brown, giving a structured backdrop that contrasts with the roundness of the fruit.

    A brilliantly executed and charming surrealist still life composition, executed in tempera on board and dated 1975, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

    The composition features a golden-brown pitcher placed centrally on a white cloth, flanked by a whole pear, a sliced pear revealing seeds and subtle gradients, and a tight cluster of purple grapes. A single green leaf adds a note of dynamism, curving gently toward the top of the board.

    Inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects, the artist masterfully captures the essence of each form through his meticulous brushwork and keen attention to detail, as well as by simplifying the objects into bold, flat shapes.

    The palette is earthy yet vibrant: greens, deep purples, and rich browns dominate, balanced by creamy whites and subtle touches of mustard and blue-grey in the patterned background. This controlled colour harmony enhances the work’s visual cohesion and vintage charm.

    The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, with an even application of paint. The artist has prioritised form and contour over painterly expression, lending the work a clean, almost printed quality.

    £555

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A enigmatic figurative oil painting that presents a striking, abstracted portrait of a lone figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

    The subject is rendered with elongated, geometric features, their pale face standing starkly against a moody, layered background. The figure’s hair, painted in a deep, earthy rust-red, frames the face and flows downward, anchoring the composition.

    The style is boldly modernist, with an emphasis on simplified forms and blocks of colour rather than fine detail. The palette is restrained yet atmospheric: muted blue-greys dominate the ground, offset by the ochre-yellow of the garment and the rusty red of the hair. Subtle tonal variations and visible brushstrokes add texture and depth, giving the surface a raw, tactile quality.

    The brushwork is expressive and confident, with layered strokes that reveal the artist’s hand. Shadows and planes of colour are suggested rather than fully defined, creating a sense of mystery and introspection. The overall impression is one of quiet strength and contemplative stillness, in keeping with the aesthetics of mid-century abstraction.

    An elegant mid-century still life composition that presents a pared-back arrangement of a single green pear alongside a white pitcher, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting is striking in its simplicity, emphasising the quiet relationship between form, line, and negative space.

    Painted in a restrained modernist style, the artist has used clean, confident brushstrokes and a limited palette of muted greys, soft blues, and creamy whites, punctuated by the fresh, vivid green of the pear. The play of shadow and light across the tabletop introduces subtle tonal variations, while the black accents on the pitcher handle and base lend contrast and visual rhythm.

    The brushwork is deliberate yet unfussy – broad, smooth strokes for background and surface planes, and more defined, darker lines for the outlines and details. The result is a composition that feels at once minimal and contemplative.

    A mid-century modernist abstract oil composition, painted by the established Swedish artist Bengt Delefors (1917-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Borås Art Museum, and others.

    This abstract still life composition has been reduced to bold, geometric forms and overlapping planes of colour. A circular form rests against angular shapes, suggesting the presence of everyday objects reimagined through abstraction. The composition is carefully balanced, with diagonal strokes introducing movement across the canvas.

    Executed in a distinctly mid-century abstract style, the work embraces simplification and geometric reduction, drawing on the principles of Cubism while leaning into a modernist emphasis on form and structure over representation.

    The palette is earthy yet dynamic, dominated by deep greens, muted browns, and bold blocks of red, offset by neutral tones of beige and cream. The interplay of darker and lighter hues creates depth and tonal contrast, giving the surface both rhythm and solidity.

    The brushwork is confident and expressive, with areas of thickly applied paint and visible strokes that enhance the painting’s sense of immediacy and physical presence. The layering of opaque and semi-opaque colours builds a structured, tactile surface.

    A brilliantly executed and emotive mid-century modernist style figurative composition that presents a contemplative nude figure, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

    The figure, constructed through broad angular planes and softened edges, is seated in a relaxed pose, one leg bent and the torso subtly twisted – creating a gentle rhythm that guides the viewer’s gaze through the composition.

    Executed in a restrained yet warm palette of ochre, sienna, and earthy umber, the body is set against a backdrop of powder blue, grey, and dusty taupe. This juxtaposition of warm and cool tones imbues the painting with both emotional tension and visual calm.

    The brushwork is expressive but controlled, with textured applications of paint that oscillate between opaque coverage and dry-brush translucency, revealing the wood grain beneath. There’s a tactile quality to the strokes – layered, scraped, and directional – that accentuates the structural anatomy of the figure while maintaining abstraction.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting’s surface exhibits areas of craquelure, consistent with age. While the paint layer remains stable across most of the canvas, there is some instability noted in the central section beneath the figure’s chest. The frame is in good vintage condition.

    £585

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A striking and emotive mid-century figurative portrait composition that is characterised by expressive brushwork and a rich interplay of colours, executed in oil onto board and dated 1944.

    The subject, a solemn individual, is depicted with an elongated face and angular features, exuding an introspective presence. Positioned against an abstracted interior background, the painting suggests a domestic setting with hints of a decorative element behind the figure, possibly a painting.

    Loose, painterly brushstrokes fill the surface, as the artist has applied paint in a gestural, almost raw manner – with visible and layered strokes that convey a sense of immediacy and emotion. This technique creates texture and imbues the work with a dynamic quality.

    The palette consists of an array of muted shades that evoke a subdued but powerful emotional tone, suggesting introspection or melancholy.

    This oil on board is housed in complementary gilt frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    A brilliantly executed modernist style figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

    The composition features a model seated on a tall brown stool, with one leg resting on a shorter platform while the other touches the floor.

    The artist has deliberately chosen to omit the facial features, instead focusing on the figure’s form, accentuated by the dark outlines that trace the silhouette and bring a sense of structure and definition to the piece.

    The backdrop is an abstract blend of pale yellow and light cream blocks, providing a calming yet contrasting background that enhances the simplicity and effectiveness of the composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne silver frame with an inner beige border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffs and marks, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

    An expressive modernist style figurative oil painting that presents a contemplative and poised seated figure, rendered with bold, confident brushwork, and executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1978.

    The subject, dressed in a muted green top, cropped blue trousers, and accented with a pale pink scarf, sits on a red-cushioned wooden chair. Their head is turned slightly to the side, the facial features left abstract, allowing posture and colour to convey mood.

The artist has used thick, visible brushstrokes, lending the work a tactile quality and an impressionistic immediacy.

    £520

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A warm and nostalgic figurative composition depicting a lively market scene, painted in oil onto board, framed and ready to hang.

    The loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold yet slightly muted colours give it an impressionistic feel. The figures appear in mid-conversation or activity, creating a sense of movement and casual everyday life.

    The central figure, a woman in a black top and green skirt, appears calm and composed. She draws the viewer’s eye and provides a human anchor amid the busier setting. The background shows fragmented architecture, sunlight, and possibly docks or sails, all rendered in a painterly, almost abstract way.

    The painting conveys a sense of sunlight and warmth, and the bustle of everyday life.

  • The Tram

    The Tram

    A small yet very striking modernist street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The painting depicts a bustling scene in a city with a tram and some figures strolling in the foreground, and a building motif situated in the background of the painting.

    The artist has highlighted the silhouettes of the tram, building and figures with a thin black outline, and the painting has a sketch-like quality. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the figure and objects, drawing our attention to their distinct forms.

    The painting is characterised by a beautiful rich palette, as well as expressive and lightly textured brushstrokes that reflect the uplifting energy of the city.

  • Cup Collective

    Cup Collective

    £350

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A contemporary still life painting that presents a playful arrangement of cups, each uniquely patterned and simplified into bold, graphic silhouettes, painted by British artist Annemarie Derrick in 2025.

    The composition features eight cups and mugs, neatly arranged in a grid, their individuality revealed through distinct decorative motifs – spots, stripes, florals, and sunburst designs.

    The style is characteristically contemporary with a nod to mid-century design sensibilities, balancing minimalism with whimsy. Executed in a muted palette of greys, creams, and whites, the work is enriched by subtle terracotta accents along the handles and outlines, lending warmth to the restrained tones. The background is painted in a flat, earthy grey that allows the cups to stand forward with quiet presence.

    The brushwork is confidently loose and textural, with visible strokes that add depth and tactility to the surface while retaining an intentionally naïve, hand-drawn charm. The simplicity of form and repetition creates a sense of rhythm and order, while the variety of decoration introduces individuality and delight.

    This painting is on cradled wooden panel and is presented in a white wooden floating frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
