Port Side

SOLD.

A soothing and brilliantly executed seascape composition, painted in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974) whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.

This scenic painting captures boats docked by a port, with a view of a blue sea in the distance.

The artist has worked under a largely modernist ethos, simplifying the scene down to blocks of colours, using contrasting tones to create depth and space within the picture.

The painting has a soothing quality overall, brought forth through the use of a cool palette including shades of blue and yellow, as well as gentle brushstrokes.

This oil on board is housed in a lovely silver-grey  wood frame with a light blue undertone, and with an inner light brown wood slip. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some slight wear to its corners but its overall appearance is very good.

Size: 47 x 55 cm (including frame)
