About the Item

STILLNESS IN THE SUNLIGHT Size: 44 x 51.5 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A nostalgic and subdued mid-century modernist style composition, 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. A female figure in a patterned brown dress and matching headscarf stands with her back turned, gazing out toward a sunlit seafront. Her form is silhouetted against a pale, softly radiant sky, while two distant figures walk near the shoreline, rendered in minimal, blurred strokes. Executed in a minimalist modernist style, the painting features simplified forms and subtle geometry. The palette is muted yet warm – soft browns, beiges, and taupes contrast gently with the hazy whites and greys of the sky, punctuated by a sliver of blue on the horizon. The brushwork is smooth and controlled, with soft gradients and diffused edges creating a dreamlike, almost cinematic stillness. The overall effect evokes quiet introspection, solitude, and the gentle passage of time. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne-coloured frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible.
