About the Item

A captivating Scandinavian Modern abstract oil painting by Danish modernist Ebba Carstensen (1885–1967), created in 1966. Carstensen, a prominent member of the artists’ collective Grønningen, is celebrated for her innovative approach to color, composition, and expressive reduction. In this late-career work, she explores abstraction with a quiet yet powerful sensitivity. The painting features a richly layered field of vibrant green tones, ranging from luminous chartreuse to deeper moss hues. Subtle variations in texture and brushwork create a soft atmospheric depth, while faint, gestural charcoal-like lines introduce an organic structure that suggests movement and form without literal depiction. The result is a serene yet compelling visual experience—an abstraction that feels both modern and meditative. Presented in a simple, warm wood frame that complements the work’s natural palette, the piece exemplifies Carstensen’s ability to distill color and gesture into compositions that resonate with both emotional nuance and Scandinavian restraint. Signed and dated.
