Oil on board

A small yet evocative mid-century abstract painting that presents an interpretation of a wintry urban landscape, executed in oil onto board.

Likely viewed from an elevated vantage point, the composition depicts snow-covered rooftops and architectural forms simplified into bold planes and tonal contrasts, hinting at chimneys, dormers, and stone facades under a muted sky.

Rendered in a restrained palette of cold greys, browns, and beiges, the painting evokes the quietude of a snow-blanketed city. The brushwork is dynamic yet deliberate – broad, textured strokes create rhythmic abstractions of built forms, while impasto accents add depth and tactile intensity. The work borders on abstraction but retains enough figuration to suggest a real, lived environment – familiar yet stylised.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
