About the Item
UNDER COTTON SKIES
Size: 46 x 54.5 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A quiet and introspective mid-century modernist figurative 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 composition presents two female figures in patterned garments standing before a village house. Their stylised, geometric forms – with elongated necks and angular facial features – evoke a sense of solemn stillness, as if frozen in a moment of contemplation. Behind them, two seated figures rest in shadow near the darkened structure, their presence subtle and understated.
The style is distinctly modernist, with a focus on abstraction and flattened perspective. The figures are rendered with minimal detailing but strong graphic patterns – each dress covered in repeated circular motifs that lend rhythm and cohesion to the composition.
The palette is earthy yet refined: warm browns and rust dominate the architecture and ground, contrasted by the soft powder blue of the sky dotted with cloud forms in pale white. The figures’ garments incorporate muted blues, greys, and browns, harmonising with the background while still offering visual interest through texture and repetition.
The brushwork is smooth and deliberate, leaning towards a matte finish with fine, consistent application. There’s a quiet harmony in the restrained execution – subtle yet impactful, evoking the stillness of village life.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
