The Basket Bearer
SOLD
A striking mid-century modernist painting depicting a stylised female figure carrying a basket in each hand, executed in oil on canvas.
The composition is pared down and geometric, with the figure rendered in flat planes of colour and minimal facial detail, emphasising form, posture, and colour over realism. The subject exudes quiet strength, and is framed against a softly abstracted background.
The artist has used a restrained yet expressive palette – muted purples and orange, olive greens, pale blues, and warm creams – imbuing the scene with a serene, earthy quality. Bold, confident brushstrokes define the figure’s silhouette, while textured layering and visible brush marks add a tactile depth to the surface. There is a gentle rawness in the unfinished edges and rough outlines that lend the piece a distinctly modern, handmade character.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
