Dimensions with frame: 44 x 57 x 5 cm. Signed and dated "Arthur 48" in the lower left corner. A striking and modernist still life depicting three freshly caught fish arranged on a white ceramic platter beside a simple kitchen knife. Executed with confident, textured brushwork and a restrained palette, the composition transforms an everyday subject into a powerful study of form, color, and materiality. The artist emphasizes the tactile qualities of the fish through thick impasto and nuanced earthy tones, contrasting beautifully against the luminous white tablecloth and the deep, almost abstract dark background. The dynamic placement of the fish creates a subtle rhythm across the composition, while the pared-down setting recalls the directness and honesty of early 20th-century European still life painting. Influenced by Post-Impressionist and modern realist traditions, the work balances painterly spontaneity with careful observation. The expressive handling of paint and simplified composition evoke the spirit of French and Continental modernist still lifes of the early to mid-20th century.

Ekblom") and comes elegantly presented in a classic, heavy gilt frame that perfectly complements the warm tones of the artwork. This piece is ideal for adding a touch of sophisticated European charm to a kitchen, dining room, or gallery wall.

Signed: Sven Axel Ekblom (1898–1987) Sven Axel Ekblom was a twentieth-century Swedish artist and illustrator celebrated for his meticulous technical skill, keen eye for natural subjects, and deeply rooted connection to Scandinavian design and nature. Born in Stockholm on December 28, 1898, he was raised in an artistic and scientific environment. His mother, Thérèse Ekblom, was herself a highly regarded botanical and scientific illustrator, which heavily influenced Sven’s early artistic development and disciplined approach to painting. Ekblom received his formal artistic training at the Stockholm Art School (Konstfack). There, he mastered classical composition and refined his work across multiple mediums, working predominantly in watercolors, gouache, and oil paints. In 1925, Ekblom accepted a position as an illustrator and cartoonist at the Swedish Museum of Natural History (Naturhistoriska riksmuseet) in Stockholm. This tenure lasted for decades and defined much of his public-facing career. His sharp eye for anatomy and textures made him a sought-after commercial and academic illustrator. Notable career achievements include: Major Publications: He provided extensive wildlife and nature plates for foundational Swedish reference works, including Brehms Bok om Djurens Liv (Brehm's Life of Animals) and the Nordisk familjebok encyclopedia. Ekblom was famously commissioned to illustrate pieces for the prestigious East Asian antiquities collection of King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden.

Romana Milutin Fabris (b.1941) Dubrovnik Cityscape with Nude Women, ca. 1970. Gouache on illustration board, 23 x 32.5 inches; 25 x 34.5 inches framed. Signed lower right. Foil frame label on verso from 1960's with 5 digit telephone number, dating this piece to ca. 1970. Romana Milutin Fabris, born in 1941 in Dubrovnik, is one such artist: unwavering, devoted, and endlessly inspired. Her artistic education began at the School of Applied Arts in Split and Zagreb, and continued at the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade, where she laid the foundations of her distinctive visual language. A pivotal moment in her formation came with an international scholarship from the Austrian government, which enabled her to study in Salzburg under the great master Oskar Kokoschka-a painter of profound expressionist vision, whose spirit echoes in Romana’s work without ever being immitated. From the outset, she forged her own path-intimate but consistent, deeply personal and unmistakably her own. In 1964, she opened her first solo exhibition at the Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik, marking the beginning of a presence on the art scene that has now spanned more than six decades. Dubrovnik occupies a special place in her work. It is not merely the city of her birth, but the city of her soul-an eternal source of inspiration. Its stone walls, austere Mediterranean light, and the lush branches of bougainvillea reappear time and again on her canvases. Through these motifs, we sense belonging, but also poetic distance-for Romana does not paint the landscape as an external scene, but as an inner experience. Her colours speak in silence, her forms exude tranquillity, and the figures in her portraits radiate a depth that reaches beyond the visible. Each painting is a page from the diary of a strong and sensitive spirit, a woman who has preserved a childlike wonder, a profound reverence for beauty, and a lifelong belief in the power of artistic expression. Romana Milutin Fabris reminds us that art is not a fleeting moment, but a lasting presence. / 1965 / FIRST SOLO EXHIBITION, SPONZA PALACE ATRIUM, DUBROVNIK · ATELIER FOR INTERIOR DESIGN MASLINA - WORK COMPLETED UNDER THE FAMOUS PAINTER MILOVAN STANIĆ...
