Evening Embrace

SOLD

A romantic and emotive mid-century figurative landscape that captures a tender moment between a couple seated on a white bench amidst a lush garden setting executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1965.

The figures are rendered in broad, expressive strokes, with the woman in a light blue dress and the man in a dark suit, their bodies gently leaning toward one another in a quiet show of intimacy.

The scene is set against a dramatically painted backdrop – towering trees, a dusky sky, and a lake or body of water in the distance evoke a sense of twilight. The palette is rich and earthy: deep greens, stormy blues, muted pinks, and flashes of warm reds animate the landscape, while the brushwork is loose, textured, and instinctive, conveying both emotion and atmosphere.

The overall composition is balanced yet dynamic, with the figures grounding the work while the surroundings pulse with expressive energy.

A charming example of mid-century expressionist painting, this piece blends figuration and abstraction to capture the essence of a fleeting, intimate moment in nature.

This oil on canvas  is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing.
