Sperm Whale

SOLD

A small and engaging mid-century animal composition painted in a naïve style, executed in oil onto board.

The composition focuses on a black sperm whale in a vast ocean, positioned beneath a distant sailing ship. The whale’s exaggerated features, such as its prominent teeth, single eye, and curling tail, contribute to its charm and folk-art quality.

The brushwork is visible, and appears smooth and deliberate. The circular frame creates a natural vignette, drawing the viewer’s eye into the scene.

This oil on panel comes unframed, and is in excellent vintage condition. It has an eye hook attached to the top and is meant to be hung as is.

Size: 23 x 23 cm
