Mid 20th Century "Lady With Bowl" Swedish Figurative Portrait Oil Painting, Framed

A well-executed and impactful mid 20th century semi-abstract blue oil portrait, depicting a lady seated cross-legged and holding a white bowl. The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrast and bold outlines to create this outstanding portrait. A restrained palette comprising shades from blue to grey fill the painting; and distinct blocks of these contrasting colours have been used to make out this composition. Swift and painterly brushstrokes have been executed in an almost forceful manner, creating thick layers of paint (impasto) that add a striking textured effect and a sense of three dimensionality to the work overall. This oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 48 X 40 cm (including frame).
