Vintage Swedish Figurative Oil Painting, Brita Hansson - Market Square

1950s

About the Item

MARKET SQUARE Size: 37 x 42 cm (including frame) Oil onto paper laid to board A richly coloured mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto paper laid on board, by the established female Swedish artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979). In this striking composition, three figures are seated in a centre of a town square. The artist has used bold outlines to highlight the forms of the figures and their surroundings. Expressive brushstrokes fill the surface, and the use of contrasting vivid colours help to demonstrate depth and space to the painting. This oil painting is housed in a gilt frame with black mount board. There are some minor scuffs to the frame, but overall the painting and frame are both 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. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.
