A Gentle Path

Sold

SOLD

A gentle and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a winding path as it cuts through softly rolling fields, executed in oil onto canvas.

Small yet impactful, the composition is calm and inviting, with the path acting as a quiet guide through the scene, drawing the eye into a softly rendered horizon.

The trees, though delicately understated, are rendered in a hazy, atmospheric manner that allows their forms to dissolve slightly into the surrounding landscape. This subtle treatment gives the impression of early morning mist or diffused evening light, enhancing the painting’s quiet, contemplative mood.

Executed in a semi-impressionistic style, the artist balances structure with looseness. The foreground is built with expressive, textured brushstrokes that suggest grasses and earth, while the midground and background soften into more blended, almost dreamlike passages. This contrast creates a gentle depth without disrupting the overall stillness.

The palette is muted and harmonious, featuring soft greens, mossy undertones, warm ochres, and pale neutrals, with cooler grey-blues subtly woven throughout. The sky is light and diffused, lending a quiet luminosity that bathes the landscape in a gentle glow.

This oil on canvas is presented in a simple yet elegant silver-toned wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Daylilies in Sunlight

Sold

SOLD

A bright and serene mid-century still life that captures a cluster of orange daylilies basking in sunlight, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1955.

The artist captures a fleeting, luminous moment with sunlight filtering through leaves and petals, transforming the everyday sight of blooming daylilies into something almost transcendent. There’s a sense of calm vitality here: the blooms, rendered in warm tones of orange and gold with touches of coral and crimson, rise dynamically from the cool greens of their leaves, their upward gesture bringing movement and energy to the composition.

Rendered with thick, expressive brushstrokes, the work feels both spontaneous and deeply considered. It invites the viewer not only to look but to feel the warmth of the sun and the peaceful rhythm of a day slowly unfolding.

Haystacks by the Gate

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century landscape that captures a quiet rural scene under an expansive sky, executed in oil onto board.

To the left, several golden haystacks rise against the horizon, their rounded forms accented by loosely placed poles, hinting at agricultural life and seasonal rhythms. A road leads the viewer’s eye into the middle distance, where a simple wooden gate opens toward a countryside beyond.

Executed in a restrained and muted palette, the composition reflects a serene pastoral atmosphere. The brushwork is gentle and impressionistic, with visible textures in the sky and fields that lend the painting a sense of movement and authenticity. Delicate textures in areas such as the haystacks and road adds tactile interest without overwhelming the tranquil mood.

Hillside Rhythm

Sold

SOLD

A vibrant mid-century modernist landscape composition that captures an undulating terrain rendered in bold, sculptural brushstroke, and executed in oil onto canvas.

The scene is abstracted into rhythmic forms where rounded hilltops and faceted slopes are expressed through confident sweeps of the brush, giving the land a sense of movement and tactile energy.

The colour palette is rich – cool sage, olive, and moss greens intersect with muted stone greys and soft sky blues, creating a harmonious balance between earth and air. The sky is painted in a smooth gradient of pale blue, acting as a calm contrast to the dynamic, textured land below. Each stroke is deliberate and expressive, laid down with visible directionality, giving the impression of wind pushing across the hillsides.

Painted with an almost sculptural quality, the brushwork creates volume and light without relying on fine detail – typical of the mid-century Scandinavian modernist approach, where form and rhythm take precedence over realism.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner cream border. The painting itself is in very good vintage condition. The frame shows some age-related marks and has a section missing on the right side.

Sunset by the Pines

Sold

SOLD

A captivating modernist landscape that captures a serene winter evening in a town, painted with a whimsical yet sophisticated hand., executed in oil onto canvas and dated 2004.

The composition is anchored by slender, trees stretching vertically across the canvas, their trunks etched in expressive, confident brushstrokes. Beyond the trees, a snow-covered red cottage stands bathed in the glow of a pink and amber sunset, with a fiery sun gently sinking into the horizon.

The artist has used a vivid yet harmonious palette- rosy pinks, icy blues, yellows, and earthy browns. Snow is rendered in light texture, while delicate dabs of white and gold depict the last leaves of autumn clinging to frosted branches. A few scattered birds and a ladder leaning against the cottage hint at daily life amidst stillness.

Executed in a stylised, semi-naïve manner, the work evokes the warmth of memory at of seasonal transition.

The Last Pine

Sold

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century landscape painting that captures a serene alpine lakeside scene, where a solitary windswept pine stands against a vast expanse of calm blue water and distant snow-covered mountains, executed in oil onto board.

The composition balances openness and quiet drama, with the lone tree acting as both focal point and anchor within the expansive natural setting. Dark rocky forms along the shoreline contrast beautifully against the crisp mountain ridge and luminous sky, giving the work a contemplative and almost cinematic atmosphere.

Executed in a loose modernist style, the painting combines expressive brushwork with simplified forms typical of mid-century landscape painting. The artist uses confident, gestural strokes to suggest the rugged terrain and mountain contours, while softer blended passages in the sky create a sense of stillness and depth. The tree itself is rendered with elegant linearity, its sparse foliage painted in quick textured marks that lend movement and character.

The palette is rich yet restrained, dominated by cool tones of cerulean, deep lake blue, charcoal black, and snowy whites, offset by touches of earthy browns, moss green, and burnt sienna in the foreground vegetation. These warmer accents provide a subtle contrast to the crisp alpine backdrop and bring warmth to the composition.

Where the Trees Gather

Sold

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a grove of trees rendered through a highly simplified and painterly lens, executed in oil onto canvas.

Here, the artist distills the scene into a series of interlocking organic forms, evoking the rhythm and character of the natural environment. The composition suggests a stand of trees, their rounded canopies and twisting trunks emerging from a sunlit clearing beneath an expansive sky.

Executed in a modernist, semi-abstract style, the painting balances representation with abstraction. The forms are reduced to broad, sculptural shapes, creating a sense of quiet monumentality while retaining the essence of the landscape. The composition feels contemplative and timeless, inviting the viewer to experience the landscape as a mood rather than a specific place.

A restrained palette of soft sage greens, muted blue-greys, pale creams, and warm sandy browns lends the work a serene and harmonious quality. Subtle passages of charcoal, olive, and earthy brown provide contrast and depth, while hints of sky blue illuminate the upper portion of the composition.

The brushwork is loose yet deliberate, characterised by broad sweeping strokes and layered applications of paint. Visible brush marks animate the surface, with curved gestures describing foliage and more angular strokes defining trunks and shadows. The resulting texture creates a gentle sense of movement, enhancing the painting’s lyrical interpretation of the landscape.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary silver painted wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Hills by the Sea

Sold

SOLD

A charming mid-century modernist oil painting that captures a serene coastal escarpment overlooking calm blue waters, 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.

Rounded clusters of deep green foliage cascade across the foreground and hillside, while muted brown paths and cliff faces gently guide the eye toward the distant horizon. The simplified forms and restrained composition give the work a meditative stillness, evoking the quiet rhythm of an isolated shoreline.

Executed in a highly gestural modernist style, the painting balances abstraction with landscape representation. The artist reduces the scene into broad organic shapes and sweeping planes of colour, allowing atmosphere and structure to take precedence over fine detail. There is a subtle tension between the solidity of the landmass and the openness of the sea and sky, creating a beautifully understated composition.

The palette is both earthy and calming, composed of rich forest greens, olive tones, muted sand, pale cream, and soft powder blues. The contrast between the cool expanse of water and the dense, shadowed greenery gives the work depth while maintaining its minimalist sensibility.

Brushstrokes are broad, confident, and painterly, applied with visible texture and an instinctive rhythm. Thick curved strokes shape the foliage with a sculptural quality, while the sea and sky are rendered in smoother, flatter passages that heighten the sense of calm and spaciousness.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Winter Light at Dusk

Sold

SOLD

An evocative mid-century modernist landscape scene with figure, executed in oil onto canvas.

This painting captures a solitary figure standing before a quiet winter landscape as an orange sun dips low against a muted sky. The composition is distilled into simplified geometric forms: angular rooftops, rounded treetops, and broad planes of snow – creating a serene yet contemplative atmosphere.

Rendered in cool tones of slate blue, charcoal, dove grey and icy white, the palette is beautifully punctuated by the warm, amber glow of the setting sun. The artist has used confident, stylised brushstrokes, outlining forms with inky, expressive lines that lend the scene a graphic clarity. Areas of flat colour are softened by subtle modulation, giving depth to the snowy fields and the silhouetted figure.

The overall effect is both still and cinematic: a quiet winter moment reduced to its essential shapes, colours and mood, with a strong sense of restraint and poetic minimalism.

This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful frame with a grey-wash wood grain finish. The painting in good vintage condition overall – with some marks and warp to the canvas.

Garden Celebration

Sold

SOLD

A charming modernist figurative landscape painting that captures a leisurely outdoor gathering rendered abstractly with an almost dreamlike simplicity, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1971.

Small groups of figures drift through a soft green parkland, framed by loosely painted trees and two tables dressed in pale cloths, each topped with delicately decorated cakes. The scene feels both celebratory and intimate – a fleeting social moment distilled into colour, gesture, and atmosphere.

Executed in a naïve modernist style, the composition embraces spontaneity and abstraction over fine detail. The figures are reduced to simplified silhouettes and expressive blocks of colour, allowing the painting’s mood and rhythm to take precedence. Thick, textural brushstrokes give the work a tactile quality, with heavily layered whites and soft blush pinks contrasting beautifully against lively greens, deep blacks, and accents of crimson, violet, and sky blue.

The palette is airy and optimistic, dominated by fresh spring greens and creamy whites that evoke sunlight filtering across an open lawn. Loose, energetic mark-making throughout the trees and garments creates movement and visual playfulness, while the intentionally sparse background lends the work a quiet poetic openness.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary slim silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffed areas and minor paint loss, consistent with age.

The Distance Between

Sold

SOLD

A serene landscape painting that presents a solitary figure standing in a vast, open field, facing toward a distant white structure that rises against the horizon, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1991.

The expansive sky occupies much of the canvas, shifting in gradient tones from pale cream near the horizon to soft blue above, evoking a sense of stillness and atmospheric depth.

The composition is minimalist yet evocative, with bold horizontal divisions of land, horizon, and sky creating a structured balance. The dark green foreground contrasts with lighter bands of yellow and green, leading the viewer’s eye toward the central figure and the white building. The figure, rendered in simple but deliberate strokes of blue, introduces a quiet narrative of solitude, contemplation, or journey.

The style is modernist and reductive, focusing on form and mood rather than intricate detail. Colours are clean and restrained – soft pastels in the sky, deep greens across the land, and a single bright accent of blue in the figure – lending the work a serene, contemplative atmosphere.

Brushstrokes are broad and confident, with smooth transitions in the sky and more textural, layered application in the landscape. The painter’s hand is visible yet controlled, conveying both immediacy and calm.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver painted frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has small scuffs.

A lively mid-century expressionist landscape painting, executed 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 solitary figure wandering through a grove of expressive, windswept trees set against a bright sky.

Executed in an expressive, semi-abstract style, the work is rich with energetic mark-making and spontaneous movement.

A Pause Between Places

Sold

SOLD

A striking mid-century figurative landscape that captures a quiet, contemplative moment at the boundary between nature and the built environment, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

A group of abstracted figures sit near a winding path, their forms simplified yet expressive, while a pair of stylised trees rise beside them – curving, organic silhouettes that anchor the composition. In the distance, block-like architectural forms suggest a town or cityscape, softened and abstracted to create a sense of calm detachment rather than urban bustle.

Executed in a distinctly mid-century modern idiom, the painting balances figuration and abstraction with ease. The artist has used flattened planes, rhythmic shapes, and a gently asymmetrical composition to guide the eye through the scene. There is a lyrical, almost poetic quality to the arrangement, where figures, trees, and buildings coexist in quiet harmony.

The palette is warm and nuanced, featuring soft creams, sandy beiges, pale blues, and blush tones, punctuated by deeper earthy browns, rust reds, olive greens, and muted teals. These contrasting yet harmonious colours lend the work both warmth and depth, while maintaining a light, airy atmosphere.

Confident, visible brushstrokes define the surface, with areas of loose, gestural paint layered against more opaque, block-like applications. Subtle scraping and overlaps reveal underlayers of colour, adding texture and movement. The painterly approach enhances the sense of spontaneity and modernist freedom characteristic of mid-century works.

This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There is a slight unevenness to the board but this is purely structural and does not affect the stability or visual impact of the artwork.

Autumn Path

Sold

SOLD

A small yet impactful expressive mid-century landscape painting that captures a winding country path weaving through rolling farmland and clustered trees in full seasonal colour, executed in oil onto canvas.

A narrow stream or irrigation channel cuts through the composition, guiding the eye toward softly contoured hills and abstracted rural forms in the distance. The scene feels both pastoral and dreamlike, evoking the warmth and rhythm of the countryside through an imaginative, almost lyrical interpretation.

Executed in a lively modernist style, the work embraces bold simplification and expressive colour over realism. The artist uses energetic, layered brushstrokes and thick areas of impasto to create movement and texture across the surface. Dappled applications of paint in the trees and foliage lend the painting a vibrant, mosaic-like quality, while gestural lines define the pathways, fences, and cultivated fields.

The palette is rich and earthy, featuring warm browns, burnt orange, sienna, olive green, cobalt blue, cream, and touches of lavender and crimson. These contrasting tones create a striking sense of depth and seasonal atmosphere, balancing warmth with cooler passages of blue and white throughout the composition.

This oil on canvas is presented in a wide profiled wood frame with an gilt inner border, which complements the painting’s warm palette beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there is some small losses to the top corners of the frame. Nevertheless, the work displays well overall.

Sold

SOLD

An expressive and atmospheric mid-century landscape that captures a countryside at the height of the changing season, executed in oil onto canvas.

Rolling fields unfold across the foreground, where a solitary red-roofed cottage rests amidst sweeping green meadows, lending a sense of scale to the expansive vista. Beyond, a vibrant belt of autumn foliage stretches across the valley floor, its fiery hues glowing against the darker wooded ridges and distant hills that frame the horizon.

Painted in a distinctly modernist manner, the artist distils the landscape into broad, simplified forms and expressive passages of colour, prioritising mood and rhythm over strict realism. The composition is carefully balanced, with horizontal bands of field, forest, and sky creating a sense of harmony and depth, while the undulating contours of the land gently guide the viewer’s eye through the scene.

The palette is both rich and nuanced, combining warm oranges, burnt siennas and soft crimsons with cool passages of sage green, blue-grey, lavender, and pale turquoise. Above, an expansive sky is animated by layered clouds rendered in sweeping strokes of blues and white, suggesting shifting light and the onset of changing weather.

The brushwork is confident and expressive throughout. Short, energetic strokes build the foliage into a tapestry of colour, while broader, more gestural applications of paint define the fields and sky.

Cubist Table Arrangement

Sold

SOLD

A calm and intriguing mid-century modernist still life painting that presents a carefully balanced arrangement of everyday forms – a loaf of bread, a ceramic vessel, a handled bowl of green fruit, and a series of stacked geometric planes, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

The composition is constructed through overlapping blocks and angular shapes, creating an architectural sense of structure while still retaining the warmth and familiarity of a domestic tabletop scene.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style with Cubist influences, the work simplifies objects into flattened forms and intersecting planes, allowing colour and composition to take precedence over realism. The arrangement feels both orderly and dynamic, with strong verticals contrasting against the softer curves of the fruit bowl and pink vessel.

The palette is restrained and harmonious, featuring warm creams, dusty pinks, olive greens, muted browns, and soft greys. These earthy tones give the painting a calm, contemplative atmosphere while the brighter green fruit introduces a gentle focal point within the composition.

Brushwork is soft yet deliberate, with layered painterly surfaces and subtle tonal blending throughout the background. The geometric objects are rendered with firmer edges and controlled application of paint, while lighter, feathered strokes in the surrounding space lend the work an airy softness and understated depth.

The composition captures a serene landscape scene of a farmhouse beneath a broad thatched roof, accompanied by a full-bodied tree to the right. The composition is balanced and restrained, focusing on the geometric rhythm of the roofline contrasted with the organic softness of the foliage.

The artist has worked in a modernist style, reducing forms to their essentials while retaining a sense of place and atmosphere. The palette is cool and calming, with sky blues, muted teals, earthy browns, and soft golden browns, which together create a tranquil countryside mood.

The brushstrokes are broad and textured, applied with confident, almost block-like swathes of paint that suggest depth and light without unnecessary detail. This technique allows the viewer’s eye to rest on the impression of shapes and tones, rather than fine rendering.

Harvest Under the Canopy

Sold

SOLD

A rich and striking striking mid-century modernist figurative landscape composition, painted in oil and gouache by the established Swedish female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).

A group of figures is gathered beneath a grove of robust, twisting trees – likely harvesters at rest or mid-task, surrounded by produce and market crates. The scene hums with life, captured in abstracted yet recognisable forms. Deep blues, earthy reds, browns, and forest greens dominate the palette, contrasted with striking patches of orange and golden yellow that suggest dappled sunlight filtering through foliage.

Painted in a bold, modernist style, the figures and environment are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes and geometric abstraction. The trees form powerful vertical rhythms while the figures, draped in rich fabrics, add weight and grounded intimacy to the scene. The brushwork is confident and gestural, emphasising mass and movement rather than realistic detail – imbuing the painting with a sense of warmth.

A mid-century oil painting that captures the quiet moment of an ice fisher, seated beside a small sled on a vast, frozen expanse, 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 figure is huddled near a freshly cut fishing hole, his vibrant clothing and gear providing a focal point against the endless white landscape. The distant horizon, painted in soft bands of pastel blues, greens, and violets, evokes the crisp stillness of a winter sky.

Minimalist and impressionistic, the work favours capturing mood and atmosphere over intricate details. The artist conveys emotion through the restrained composition, focusing the viewer’s attention on the quiet perseverance of the scene.

The palette is soft and delicate, capturing the serene nature of the scene.

Pastel Grove

Sold

SOLD

A soothing and pleasant mid-century abstract modernist landscape that evokes a tranquil woodland clearing bathed in the gentle glow of early morning light, executed in oil onto canvas.

Slender vertical forms suggest tree trunks rising through a softly diffused atmosphere, while a luminous central passage draws the eye inward, hinting at a path or opening beyond.

The painting depicts a tranquil rural scene, dominated by a winding path leading towards a small, rustic red cabin. The scene is surrounded by rolling hills adorned with tall, narrow trees, showcasing a variety of green and earthy tones. In the foreground, a tree with sparse leaves reaches over the path, creating a natural arch that frames the view.

Circle of Light

Sold

SOLD

An endearing and uplifting mid-century figurative landscape that captures a moment of shared presence, as a group of simplified figures stand hand-in-hand and appear to be dancing in a circular formation, executed in oil onto board.

At the centre, a vivid burst of yellow – suggestive of sheaves of wheat or a glowing harvest bundle – anchors the composition, radiating warmth. Above, small birds in flight animate the sky, adding a sense of movement and freedom.

Rendered in a distinctly modernist, almost naïve style, the figures are intentionally reduced to essential forms. The colour palette is bold and expressive: saturated yellows and greens dominate the foreground, conveying warmth and vitality, while deep blues and teals in the sky and garments provide a cooling counterbalance. Subtle pink tones for the faces introduce a human softness, gently breaking the graphic simplicity.

Brushwork is loose and confident, with visible, sweeping strokes that give the painting a tactile, almost rhythmic quality. The layering of paint – particularly in the sky and fields – adds depth and movement, while the central yellow form is applied more thickly, enhancing its visual prominence.

Surrealist Still Life

Sold

SOLD

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

The main focus is a still life arrangement, where the objects are flatly rendered, with strong outlines and solid colours, giving them a stylized, almost graphic appearance. The still life is set against a dramatic landscape featuring dark, jagged rock formations and a glowing yellow-orange sky. The horizon line is low, creating a sense of vastness and emphasizing the glowing sunset or sunrise. Two distant rocky outcrops are visible on the horizon, adding depth and a touch of realism.

This painting is a striking combination of still life and landscape, juxtaposing the intimate simplicity of fruit and household objects with the grandeur and drama of a glowing, otherworldly landscape. The bold use of colour and form creates a stylized and dynamic composition, blending realism with abstraction. It evokes a sense of harmony between the everyday and the sublime.

This tempera on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has very minor scuffs, but is in good condition overall.

Golden Fields

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century modern landscape that presents a cluster of farmhouses set against expansive, sun-washed fields, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.

The composition centres on a group of simplified farmhouses: white-walled structures with gently sloping roofs – arranged in quiet dialogue with one another. Beyond them, bands of cultivated land stretch horizontally toward a dark green tree line and a pale, open sky, creating a sense of stillness and breadth.

Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting embraces reduction and clarity. Architectural forms are pared back to essential geometric shapes, with clean rooflines and block-like walls that emphasise structure over detail. Perspective is subtly flattened, allowing the buildings and landscape to sit harmoniously within layered planes of colour rather than deep spatial recession.

The colour palette is warm and restrained. Soft browns and golden yellows dominate the fields, evoking late afternoon light, while muted sage and olive greens define the distant horizon. The buildings are rendered in creamy whites and pale neutrals, their roofs in earthy taupes and browns. The sky, a gentle wash of pale greenish-blue, enhances the tranquil atmosphere and unifies the composition.

Brushstrokes are controlled and deliberate, with broad, even applications of paint that create smooth expanses of colour. Subtle textural variations are visible across the surface, lending depth without disrupting the painting’s calm rhythm. The overall effect is one of serene balance : a landscape scene distilled into harmonious shapes and tones.

This oil on canvas is presented in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The painting is presented in good vintage condition. There is a small loss visible to the upper middle area and another to the bottom left, as well as very small areas of craquelure present, consistent with age. However, these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the work.

Size: 48.5 x 108 cm (including frame)

The Long Way Home

Sold

SOLD

A charming and highly evocative 1969 oil on board depicting a quiet urban street scene rendered in a delightfully naïve, expressive style. The composition draws the viewer down a gently winding road flanked by pastel-toned buildings in warm shades of peach, cream and terracotta, their simplified forms giving the scene a dreamlike quality.

In the foreground, a solitary female figure in a striking red coat walks through the street, becoming an immediate focal point and adding a strong sense of narrative and human presence. Nearby, a bright red car echoes her coat, creating a pleasing visual rhythm across the painting. Bare winter trees and softly suggested architectural details hint at a northern European town, while the muted palette of pale greens, blues and greys lends the work a calm, atmospheric feel.

This oil on board is housed in a lovely wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a very small loss to the upper right corner as shown.

Across the Countryside

Sold

SOLD

A serene mid-century landscape that unfolds in gentle horizontal bands, capturing a pastoral village nestled within rolling countryside, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1960.

A cluster of houses with red and white rooftops sit quietly amid fields of green and yellow, while slender, vertical trees punctuate the horizon with rhythmic elegance. In the distance, a solitary white tower rises softly against a hazy blue sky, lending the composition a sense of distance.

The composition is balanced and expansive, with the foreground fields leading the eye inward through subtle shifts in tone and texture. A utility pole and fine overhead wires introduce a delicate linear contrast, anchoring the scene in a moment of lived-in modernity.

Stylistically, the work reflects a restrained modernist approach, where simplified forms, flattened perspective, and an emphasis on colour harmony are prioritised over detail. The palette is fresh yet subdued: soft greens, muted yellows, earthy browns, and cool blue-greys create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.

Brushstrokes are confident, applied in broad, flat passages with minimal blending. The artist has prioritised structure and composition over intricate detailing, allowing each block of colour to stand with clarity and purpose.

This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful honey-toned wood frame with an inner gilt border and linen lining. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Autumn Meadow

Sold

SOLD

An energetic mid-century composition that captures a serene autumnal landscape with a bold, expressive hand, executed in oil onto board.

In the foreground, a textured grey-and-moss-green boulder anchors the scene beside the slender trunk of a tree, its bark rendered in rich browns and greens. Beyond, a sweep of pale golden grass opens into a stand of trees, their foliage glowing in autumnal shades, set against the deep forest green of distant conifers. The sky above is a tapestry of soft sage and buttery yellows, painted in horizontal strokes that evoke a gentle, crisp light.

Executed in a post-impressionist style, the artist has used thick, confident brushstrokes laid in distinct, visible blocks of colour, giving the scene a rhythmic energy and tactile depth. The harmonious yet vibrant palette conveys both the warmth of early autumn and the cool undertones of the season’s approach.

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

Fading Horizon

Sold

SOLD

An atmospheric mid-century landscape that presents a sweeping, almost abstracted view of land meeting sky, executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition is defined by a broad diagonal plane that draws the viewer’s eye into the distance, suggesting an open field or coastal terrain softened by mist. The forms are intentionally understated, allowing mood and atmosphere to take precedence over literal detail.

Painterly and expressive in style, the work leans toward modernist abstraction while still conveying a sense of place. The artist uses minimal definition, instead relying on tonal shifts and layered colour to evoke depth and quiet movement. The result is a calm, contemplative image imbued with a quintessential mid-century sensibility.

The palette is beautifully muted, composed of warm yellows, earthy browns, and deep moss greens that gradually transition into soft blue-greens, misty greys, and a luminous off-white sky. These colours blend seamlessly, creating the impression of early morning light or distant haze dissolving into the horizon.

The brushwork is gentle and fluid, with broad, blended strokes that form natural gradients across the landscape. Softer applications near the top of the canvas create a diffused, atmospheric quality, while more textured strokes in the foreground add a grounded sense of terrain. The overall effect is meditative and serene, inviting the viewer into a quiet, expansive space.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim gilt frame. There is a small mark visible in the light section of the sky and some areas of craquelure present, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

Size: 59 x 63.5 cm (including frame)

Courtyard in Soft Light

Sold

SOLD.

A tranquil mid-century modern painting that beautifully captures a moment of everyday life, executed in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Reuben Hedin (1905-1985), whose artworks have been represented in the Växjö Museum, Vetlanda Museum, Kalmar Museum of Art, and Småland Art Archive in Sweden.

The composition depicts a row of geometric sunlit houses with warm terracotta roofs, arranged in a quiet courtyard-like space. In the foreground, a solitary figure stands beneath a clothesline, arms raised as she hangs freshly washed garments to dry. The small human presence adds a gentle narrative moment, bringing warmth and life to the otherwise architectural setting.

Painted in a distinctly mid-century modern style, the scene emphasises simplified forms and strong architectural geometry. The houses are constructed from clean planes and angular shapes, with stepped walls, chimneys, and rooflines forming an almost abstract rhythm across the composition. Perspective is flattened and stylised, allowing the interplay of shapes and light to become the central visual language of the work.

The colour palette is soft yet striking. Terracotta reds and warm peach tones dominate the rooftops and upper facades, while creamy whites and muted beige walls catch the sunlight. Cool greens and soft blue-greys define the courtyard ground and shaded areas, creating a pleasing contrast between warmth and shadow. The subtle shifts in tone suggest late afternoon light drifting across the buildings.

Brushwork is controlled and smooth, with carefully blended surfaces that give the painting a calm, contemplative atmosphere. Edges are crisp yet softened by delicate transitions of light and shade, allowing architectural forms to appear solid yet serene. The artist uses gentle tonal gradients rather than heavy texture, reinforcing the quiet stillness of the scene.

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

Size: 53 x 61.5 cm (including frame)
