Peter Hummel captures an abstracted architectural scene rendered in a warm, earthy palette of sepia, camel, taupe, and charcoal tones. The composition blends structured building forms with expressive, gestural brushwork, creating a dynamic interplay between realism and abstraction. Layered geometric shapes, soft washes, and confident line work give the piece depth and movement, while subtle reflections and tonal contrasts enhance its mid-century modern appeal.

Signed by the artist in the lower right corner, this work exemplifies the era’s fascination with architectural form interpreted through an Expressionist lens. The neutral color scheme makes it incredibly versatile—perfect for organic modern, mid-century, contemporary, or even rustic interiors.

The artwork is beautifully presented under glass with a textured burlap-style mat, housed in a distressed carved wooden frame with a naturally aged patina that complements the tones of the painting. The frame adds character and vintage charm, making it ready to hang and display immediately.

A wonderful statement piece for collectors of 1970’s modern art or those looking to add warmth and sophistication to their space.
