Afternoon by the Lake
SOLD
A emotive and expressive mid-century modernist painting that presents a solitary figure relaxing on a wooden dock, gazing out over a rippling lake bordered by lush trees and distant mountains, executed in oil onto board.
The figure, clad in a red headscarf and earthy-toned dress, is rendered with simplified yet expressive forms, evoking a moment of quiet introspection in nature.
The composition reflects the hallmarks of mid-century modernist sensibilities: bold brushwork, expressive abstraction, and a spontaneous energy that animates the landscape. The artist has used a rich palette of greens, yellows, sky blues, and dashes of terracotta, building depth and texture through broad, impasto strokes. The water shimmers with layered greens and whites, and the trees are defined with confident, gestural marks.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with gilt border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a minor scuff at its bottom right corner, as shown.
