Mid-Century Modern Swedish Expressive Still Life Oil Painting - Basket of Fruit

1950s

About the Item

BASKET OF FRUIT Size: 61 x 69.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board An expressive and charming mid century still life composition, executed in oil onto board. The painting captures a carefully arranged tabletop composition featuring a woven basket filled with onions and an orange, surrounded by rustic pottery, potted greenery, and a striking blue vase holding deep purple flowers. A rich green cloth drapes across the surface, adding depth and contrast to the arrangement. Executed in an expressive style, the painting showcases a harmonious blend of warm and cool tones, with earthy browns and greens balanced by soft blues and purples. The artist has used dynamic, visible brushstrokes, layering colour with a painterly approach that brings texture and movement to the scene. The background is rendered in a muted, abstract manner, allowing the still life elements to take center stage. This oil on board is housed in a complementary robust wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffing present. 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.
