About the Item
FRUITS ON WHITE CLOTH
Size: 34 x 49 cm (including frame)
Tempera on board
A brilliantly executed still life painting in tempera painted onto board in 1979, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.
The composition features a selection of fruit neatly arranged on a folded white cloth against a brown background. The simplicity of the subject matter allows the viewer to focus on the interplay of colours, shapes, and light within the artwork.
The style is realistic yet painterly, and the depiction of shadows beneath the fruit and folds in the cloth adds depth to the image, enhancing its three-dimensionality.
The palette is rich yet restrained. Warm tones dominate, with the reds, oranges, and yellows of the fruit providing vibrant focal points. The white of the cloth contrasts beautifully with the earthy tones of the brown background, creating balance and harmony in the composition.
The brushstrokes are smooth and meticulous, contributing to the tempera medium’s characteristic flatness and opacity. This technique lends the painting a polished, clean aesthetic.
This tempera on board is housed in a well-suited gilt frame and with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Eric Cederberg
Eric Cederberg represents a subtle but no less significant strand of Nordic Surrealism. Working in the postwar period, he developed a Surrealist approach influenced by Magritte— calm, lucid, and rich in visual paradox. His paintings reveal a poetic logic at once restrained and unsettling, emblematic of a “smooth Surrealism” unique to the North. Though he worked outside formal Surrealist circles, his contribution demonstrates how deeply Surrealist thought penetrated Nordic art by the mid-20th century, reshaping everyday scenes into sites of symbolic transformation. - Biography by Nagas, New York
