SOLD.

A soothing and restful mid-century modern painting, executed in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Fabian Lundqvist (1913-1989), whose works have been represented in many public collections in Sweden.

The painting depicts a female figure standing in a balcony. She is stylishly dressed in patterned clothing with intricate detailing. She stands elegantly, and is back-facing the viewer, lending an air of mystery to the composition. Interesting details are there to explore, including a striped curtain to the left as well as the patterns of the stone wall and a pot resting on a table.

The balcony overlooks rows of white buildings of differing heights, that stretch out into the distance. The artist has purposely simplified the architectural details of the buildings into blocks of contrasting shades of white and brown.

The colour palette of the painting is limited to muted and earthy  shades of browns and white. These gentle colours create a subdued atmosphere, evoking a sense tranquillity. The brushstrokes in the painting are soft and gentle, creating a sense of calmness throughout the artwork, and enhancing its overall soothing aesthetic.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary silver frame with an inner linen border. The is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs.

Size: 49 x 56.5 cm (including frame)
