About the Item
THE SHADED COTTAGE
Size: 68.5 x 79 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A charming mid-century modernist style landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas by the established Swedish artist Richard Björklund (1897–1974), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmo Museum, Ystads Art Museum, and others.
The painting captures a tranquil rural scene rendered with bold simplification and abstracted form. The skilful interplay of light and shadow suggests a late afternoon sun. Thatched-roof cottages are nestled along a gently curving path, partially obscured by the angular branches of leafless trees. The geometric structure of the roofs contrasts beautifully with the organic rhythm of the trunks and overhanging limbs.
Executed in a restrained but earthy palette, the artist creates depth and harmony without unnecessary detail. The brushstrokes are broad and gestural, giving the composition a sense of immediacy and movement, while maintaining a strong architectural rhythm.
This oil on canvas is housed in a very complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
