About the Item
STILL WATERS, QUIET SHORE
Size: 42 x 70 cm (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A mid-century modernist painting of a coastal scene that presents a serene moment along a quiet shoreline, executed painted in oil onto canvas.
In the foreground, a solitary woman in a dark attire walks with measured steps, her white apron and pale yellow bundle offering a soft contrast to the muted ground. Beyond her, fishing boats are moored side-by-side, their clean lines and simplified forms rendered in flat tones of white, deep brown, and warm terracotta. A green container and stacks of pale coloured items add subtle colour accents, while the calm expanse of sea and pale blue sky create a tranquil backdrop.
Executed in a distinctly modernist style, the painting favours simplified shapes, smooth surfaces, and flat planes of colour over fine detail. The palette is composed of soft greys, muted blues, sandy beiges, and earthy browns, punctuated by touches of yellow and sea green. Brushstrokes are controlled and even, creating clean edges that enhance the scene’s sense of clarity and order.
The work captures not only the visual calm of a coastline but also the quiet rhythm of daily life by the sea, making it an elegant example of mid-century maritime modernism.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary linen lined frame with an silver window, which complements the painting beautifully and enhances its calming quality. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good vintage condition overall.
