An absolutely stunning mid 20th century oil painting of a female nude on a lounge chair in a reclined position.
The female figure is well-composed and has an air of confidence. Her hair is styled in a bun, without a single strand out of place. At work, she is a woman of power, and she has just returned home after a long day of negotiating deals, wanting to unwind.
The viewer is unable to make eye contact, as she is faced away gazing to the distance, and appears to be caught up in her thoughts, and not wishing to be interrupted.
Her body recognises that it is time to unwind and leave one’s worries behind, as she is sat in a relaxed manner – with her slender legs stretched out, and her hands laid across the arm rests.
It is signed and dated 1943 to the lower left, and is complemented by its gilt frame.
Size: 33 x 56cm (including frame)

A really unique semi-abstract painting in oil of a muse posing for an artist. In this piece emphasis has been placed on lines and forms as opposed to realistic details. For example, a triangular plane of saturated yellow has been used to represent the light streaming from the lamp shade above the head of the artist. But this plane of yellow is also what creates perspective and depth in this picture, establishing the space between the artist and the muse. Rich colours of green, yellow and gold give this painting a resplendence, emphasised further by the gilt frame surrounding the painting.
Both painting and gilt frame are in excellent condition.

A thoroughly well-executed mid 20th century painting dated 1954. The artwork depicts two elderly women sitting beside each other on a bench. There is an air of nostalgia, and they appear to be deep in conversation, reminiscing about their life experiences.
The artist has used a lovely neutral palette of grey, beige, green and blue that harmonises very well together. The use of very short and soft brushstrokes pair excellently with the subdued tones.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A restful depiction in oil of a young lady perched on a balcony edge, flanked by columns on either side. She has a book in her hand, but appears to be looking towards us. There is an air of peacefulness around her – the warm rays of the sun spread gently from behind, finding their way through the soft leaves of the trees behind, lighting up the pages of her book. A vase of pink flowers sit on the balcony on the other side, providing a sense of balance to the composition of this picture and add a wonderful pop of colour.
The painting is framed beautifully in a lilac frame, picking up on the colours of the columns.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

A wonderful figure study of seated nude in watercolour and ink detailing. Hues of blue bleed into the paper, and the sanguine outline adds a a wonderful rust coloured contrast to the blue wash. It would definitely make quite a statement in any interior.
The painting is housed in a double grey card mount and an oak frame.

Painted in 1973, this quintessentially modernist painting depicts three female figures seated by the sea. The figures are almost sculptural in form, their soft curves enhanced by the contrasting hard edges of the ledge they sit on and the horizon beyond.
The painted surface has scattered areas of small losses, and there is general surface wear and marks to the panel edges. The artwork is painted in oil, and the board upon which it is painted has been set within a thick wooden panel which can be hung on its own as is.

An expressionist scene of 2 female bathers against a watery landscape. The figures have their backs to the viewer, and we are only able to able to catch sight of the side profiles.
Bathers in art have been a long-standing tradition since the Renaissance, and this artwork in particular is reminiscent of the bathing scenes from Paul Cezanne.
The forms of the two nudes are bold and well emphasised, as their silhouettes have been outlined by thick black lines .The artist has used quick and short brushstrokes, as well as heavy impasto to create a sense of three dimensionality in this work. The orderly blocks of blue in differing shades in the background helps create the illusion of depth in this painting.
The painting is surrounded by a fantastic and robust original ash and green frame.
It is in excellent vintage condition.

An excellent composition of a nude study in gouache, depicting a female figure perched on a stool. There is a palpable tension within this picture. With her legs raised, the muse grips the rear legs of the stool, balancing her slender figure on the equally slender wooden stool. The simplicity of this picture is very effective – clean lines and a limited colour palette lend themselves well to this very visually pleasing composition.
Recently framed in a very complementary oak and maple frame with a white card mount, this gouache on paper is in excellent condition.

This enchanting scene of a street fair is such a whimsical piece of art.
It’s a lovely day in Spring and the fair has just started. The street is lined with stalls selling an abundance of food, games and handicraft, as the crowd is slowly streaming in, and there is even a dog who wants to join the party.
This work brings back such delightful memories of visiting a carnival with friends or family, having so much fun, and always returning home with something new.
This oil on panel is done by Gerhard Karlmark (1905-1976), who works are displayed in museums across Sweden.
It is signed on the lower right, and is complemented by its gilt frame.

This captivating expressionist oil is a fine example of the work by established artist Nathan Gutman. We cannot hear the tune that the pianist plays, but swirls of colour mimic the melody as it dances through the air, treating us to a visual experience in place of what would have been an aural one. Bright colours and dynamic brushstrokes fill the painting with a youthful energy.
Born in 1914 in Poland and of Jewish descent, Nathan Gutman is a well established artist who exhibited widely throughout his life.
The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame and is in excellent vintage condition.

A really unique piece showing off a rich array of warm colours, depicting figures within a vibrant Latin American village. The artist has contrasted areas of small blocks of colour against larger swathes of more expressionistic brushstrokes. These different strokes moving in different directions imbue the painting with a liveliness and playfulness that you don’t often find in paintings. Our eyes are treated to a feast, with lots of detailing to take in and enjoy. We love the fact that the artist has included the little dog passing by, emphasising the fact that this is an everyday scene, part of the hustle and bustle of village life. After noticing the scene that is taking place in the foreground, our eyes are then drawn further into the background where we begin to take in the surrounding landscape, including the village houses and mountains beyond.
This wonderful oil is is complemented by a very complementary double frame, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This artwork captivated our hearts with its unique and interesting subject matter. Depicting a home setting that is well decorated with objects such as artworks and a grandfather clock hanging on the wall, one is immediately drawn to the male figures presented together in the middle.
This group of 5 elderly gentlemen, appear to be long time friends and are engaged in a lively conversation. This artwork is certainly very inviting and as a viewer, one’s curiosity is piqued by the possible subject of the conversation taking place.
The strong use of bold and distinct brushstrokes in this painting is immaculate as it gives rise to the various forms in the work. Another great beauty point is the sunlight streaming in from the open window, as it lights up the room, casting shadows and light on the flooring as well.
This oil on canvas comes with a brown wooden frame with black accents, complementing the artwork beautifully.

It is mid afternoon, the house is quiet, and the kitchen is in repose. The cook takes a moment to rest her tired legs and aching back. She knows it won’t be long before the afternoon passes and dinner preparations for the family need to get going.
Many of us can relate to this simple scene of taking a moment to pause, and feeling the relief of having some time to breathe, before the hustle has to begin again.
This wonderful Swedish painting with its stunning brushwork and pastel palette embodies such a lovely narrative.
It is in excellent vintage condition, and comes in its original and very complementary frame.
