Mid-Century Modern Swedish Oil Painting "A Game of Petanque" Vintage Figurative Street Scene, Framed

A game of petanque. Size: 46 X 54 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas. A fun and charming mid-century narrative oil painting depicting a group of figures in the middle of a town square engaging in a game of pétanque. The use of expressive brushstrokes and uplifting colours wonderfully captures the liveliness of the scene. The small stylised figures and the general representation of street life are reminiscent of the style of the modernist painter l.s. Lowry. This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited deep-profiled wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
