Oil on canvas

A mid-century figurative painting depicts a group of figures walking side by side through a quiet coastal village, executed in oil onto canvas.

The suggestion of the sea can be seen in the background, framed by simple geometric rooftops and houses rendered in muted tones. The figures appear almost sculpted from the paint itself, evoking a sense of companionship.

Executed in an expressive modernist style, the artist has used broad brushstrokes and thick impasto to build texture and depth. The palette is dominated by cool greys, muted blues, soft creams, and earthy neutrals, creating a subdued yet harmonious composition. The simplified forms and blurred facial features lend the work an introspective and contemplative atmosphere, placing emphasis on mood and structure over detail.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood floater frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small mark at its top right corner but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.
