Oil on board

A mid century modernist village street scene, painted in oil onto board.

The composition is symmetrical and well-balanced, featuring a pathway that leads the viewer’s eye through a quiet village street flanked by buildings and tall trees.

The colour palette is composed of soft, muted tones—primarily earthy reds, blues, and greens. The red-roofed buildings on the left and the larger structure on the right frame the scene, while the trees provide vertical balance and a touch of organic softness. The sky is lightly clouded, contributing to a calm and tranquil atmosphere.

The style is precise and illustrative, with clean lines and simplified forms that maintain depth and perspective. Overall, the painting conveys a quiet charm and a sense of order, likely capturing a European rural or small-town setting with architectural elements suggesting Northern or Central European influences.

The painting is beautifully presented in a wood frame with gilt detail and an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. See less
