About the Item

AFTERNOON STROLL Size: 50 x 59 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A vibrant and charming mid-century modernist style landscape oil painting by Swedish artist Eric Elfvén (1921–2008), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. The composition captures a quiet moment in the countryside. Two loosely rendered figures stroll down a path, flanked by a rustic cart and surrounded by cottages within a landscape setting. Painted in an expressive style, the composition is constructed with broad, confident brushstrokes and an emphasis on blocks of colour rather than intricate detail. The palette is soft yet vibrant, blending pastel pinks, greens, blues, and browns. The simplified forms give the painting a nostalgic, almost storybook quality – evoking the rhythm of slow village life under a pale, serene sky. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs. 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. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.
