Dated 1962, this work captivates with its vibrant palette and graphic treatment of a figure in traditional dress. A striking piece, framed with a simple wooden molding, ready to hang. Dimensions: H87 x W75 cm. The Artist & The Artwork: Signed lower center by Lars Norman, this work is typical of the production of this well-traveled Swedish artist. It depicts a woman from behind (likely in traditional Dutch or Scandinavian dress, recognizable by the white headdress and yellow clogs), rendered with a vigorous expressionist touch.

Graphic Aesthetic: The painting's strength lies in the contrast between the warm brown background and the vibrancy of the striped skirt (blue, red, green). It's a work with a "wow" factor: it structures the space with its bold colors and striking lines.

Technique & Condition: This is an oil painting on canvas mounted on panel (the canvas is glued to a rigid support), a technique that ensures excellent preservation of the paint. On the back, there is a handwritten inscription "Almhult 62," indicating the location and date of the work. The painting is presented in its original, simple, and elegant natural wood frame.
