Farm in the Naïve Style
£295.00
Original vintage Swedish oil on canvas, signed lower left. A happy landscape in the naïve style depicting a farm, complete with houses, cattle, goats, two women wearing headscarves, a man, and a girl in a swing. The subjects are all painted in a flat perspective, with a childlike simplicity and frankness. The sense of proportion is warped (e.g. white flowers lower right are as large as the cows), which adds to the charming quality of the aesthetic. The surrounding nature is rendered in lush greens and yellows that speak to a moment in spring or mid-summer.
In light colored wood frame and in great condition.
