A soothing miniature abstract painting executed in oil, painted in 1964. This artist has used elements of abstraction to depict what appears to be a cityscape of buildings, with hints of greenery in the foreground, although this is a subjective interpretation.
Although the contrasting colour blocks of muted pastel tones of sand, grey, taupe imbue the with a sense of calm, the artist’s use of swift and energetic brushstrokes invigorate this work with subtle liveliness.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame that has hints of red.

A magnificent oil still life of well decorated table setting. Placed atop a green platform lies an assortment of objects ranging from a vase of beautiful sunflowers, 2 lemons, a pot filled with paintbrushes, a book, and a bottle.
Painted in a vibrant colour palette, the layering of contrasting colours blend so harmoniously and effortlessly. Another striking factor is the short and textured brushstrokes that have been confidently executed, imbuing the work with a sense of three dimensionality and distinct tactility.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wooden frame with an outer gilt window. The frame has many areas of paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures), but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

A soft and lovely work of art rendered in oil, dated 1954.
A group of men are depicted carrying bags of sand on their head, as they transport the goods from one end of a terrain to the next.
The artist has executed the work with gentle brushstrokes; and the selection of the neutral earthy colour palette consisting of green, purple blue and clay imbues the work with a subdued feel of lightness.
The painting is in good condition overall. There are tiny pin holes and losses to the edges on both sides of the painting (as depicted in the images), but in our opinion this does not detract from the work.
It is housed in a very complementary grainy wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

We have here a really unique piece that has been painted in oil on both front and back, both still lifes equally stunning. The artist has applied the vibrant tones in an expressive and dynamic manner, accentuating the patterning to the wall and table cloth. This heightens the texture and form of the composition giving the painting an impressionistic and nostalgic feel. There is an additional study on the reverse, showing a breakfast spread complete with butter, rolled napkin and open book.
This vintage painting has accrued patina and areas of losses and scuffing (as seen in the photos) from its journey thus far, but we think it really adds character to the painting(s).
The painting is unframed and is on board, and can be displayed without a frame (allowing you to be flexible about which side you choose to display), but should you wish assistance with framing we are always happy to help. You can drop us a message here or email us at info@discerningpalette.com

A bold and striking landscape view of Stockholm, painted in oil onto canvas. It is evident from the dynamism within the painting that the artist was very captivated by the landscape before him, expressing his own sensations through line and colour. The bold earthy tones of the houses and buildings communicates its physical man-made hardness against the softer, cooler palette of the river running through the city. An artwork like this one is distinctly reminiscent of the landscape paintings by the Modernist artist Paul Cézanne.
The painting is housed in an excellent distressed wood and gilt frame, which has a deep and robust profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A quaint and lovely Swedish mid century still life, painted in oil. Potted floral pots sit on a kitchen window sill, with a backdrop of a snowy street scape with a vivid red building. The artist alludes to the fact that it is warm and cosy inside by including the thermometer that sits on the right side, juxtaposing this against the cold landscape outside of the window. There is a distinct homeliness and cosiness to this painting, created by both the subject matter as well as the colour palette.
The painting is housed in a simple white grey frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Painted in 1959, this seascape in oil has a typically mid century modern feel. Geometric shapes rendered in warm tones of red, blue, and grey form this compositionally balanced nautical seascape. Bold brushwork and palette make up the foreground of the piece, with the paint getting thinner and cooler in tone as it recedes into the background, even allowing the substrate to show through in areas. There is a real tactile quality to this almost abstract painting.

An outstanding oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction.
The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in between 2 large trees in an orangey yellow landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.
Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame that complements the painting wonderfully. Both artwork and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An absolutely stunning and delicate coastal cityscape of La Rochelle in France, executed in oil and dated 1963. This artwork has been painted in a semi-abstract manner, as the city skyline reflects wonderfully in the waters surrounding it.
Composed with a restrained colour palette comprising subtle shades of light blue, grey and yellow – the work is imbued with a sense of calmness and tranquility.
The artist shows off his painterly skills, displaying both the use of fine brushwork as well as the use of a palette knife – giving the work a lightly textured and smooth surface.
Additionally, there is also a thin layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with a linen lining. There are some scuffs and marks on the painting are typical for a mid century painting.

A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.
Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.

A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.
The painting is housed in an simple wood frame, which suits it wonderfully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame appears to have had some restoration work done to upper left and lower left corners, as shown in the photos.

A relaxing seascape, rendered in oil that radiates calm and serenity. This work of art that has hints of abstract qualities captures a seamless transition of the sand, sea and sky so beautifully; and one can almost hear the soft ocean waves and gentle wind blowing.
Soft and sweeping brushstrokes imbue the work with a sense of tranquility; and the way the selection of light pastel colours of yellow, blue and purple interact with one another is simply outstanding.

The solitude of winter is celebrated in this work, as it presents a farm situated in the the middle of a vast snow-covered landscape.
The air is cold and still, trees are barren, and there is not a soul in sight.

A fantastic semi-abstract modernist oil painted onto canvas. We see here a black silhouette of a figure, set against an abstracted background. The artist has played with shape, form and colour, juxtaposing the rounded curves of the dark figure with the more formal geometric angles of the lighter background. The subject of the painting has an almost sculptural quality, reminiscent of the British Modernist artist Henry Moore, who is well known for his signature abstract forms derived from the human body in both sculptures and drawings.
This striking painting is in fine vintage condition. There are some areas of paint loss and craquelure (fine cracks in the paint) as seen in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. It is housed in a mid century cream frame with an inner fabric lined border, that has some marks and scuffs.

Confident, expressionist brushstrokes in saturated colours and bold outlines depict this pensive picture of two figures standing at a railway crossing. We witness here an artist seeking oppositions of blue with orange, red and green, mustard and white, while skilfully combining these extremes without losing harmony within the picture. Within this almost ‘dirty’ palette, the artist and his energy comes through wonderfully.
The painting is housed in a distressed silver-grey wood frame with a deep profile, complementing the painting perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor areas of paint loss around the edges (as shown in photos) but because it is of a ‘distressed’ style these imperfections certainly do not harm the overall look of the framed picture.

A modernist take on a city landscape featuring flat planes of colour and distinct outlines. Geometric shapes and forms in contrasting colour create depth, while retaining a tendency to abstraction. A combination of a pastel palette, a focus on form, and a matte surface texture in thin layers of oil emphasise a focus on materials, techniques and processes. The subject matter too is very much a modernist one, with a focus on modern industrial life, which at the time of this painting being painted would have been a new and innovative concept.
This oil painting is housed in a robust distressed gilt frame with a white inner border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Each watercolour portrait is housed in a thin black frame with gilt outlines. They have some age toning but this is typical for pictures of this age, and if anything add to their vintage charm.
