A large mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto board.

This painting is an expressive, semi-abstract portrait rendered in a loose, painterly style. It depicts a seated figure at a table, surrounded by shades of blue and teal, which dominate the composition and establish a cool, contemplative mood.

A tall vase of white flowers sits prominently on the table, painted with gestural, quick strokes. The flowers and green stems contrast sharply with the blue background, drawing the viewer’s eye.

The surface is highly textured, with areas of impasto and visible brushstrokes, particularly around the figure and floral arrangement. A range of blues—from pale to deep ultramarine—forms the primary backdrop, softened by touches of brown, green, white, and flesh tones. A small patch of bright blue on the table adds a focal point in the foreground.

This is a moody, introspective work that captures a quiet moment of solitude or thoughtfulness. The use of abstraction and layered brushwork conveys depth and emotion, while the limited palette enhances the sense of stillness and quiet. It’s a piece that invites reflection, both visually and emotionally.

The painting is housed in a well suited silver frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing as shown.
