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.
