Boats on Shore

Impressionist, bright oil painting of two boats by the coast. Oil on panel, signed. 1940-50's.

Painter Harald Sandberg is known for “adding Sunshine to My Paint”, and this painting is a great example of that. With bright yellows, pinks, ochres and blues, Sanberg created a pretty seaside landscape that will brighten your room, and your mood!

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage gilded wooden frame. Both painting and frame may show some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to their charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.

Size:  50,5 x 42,5 cm (with frame)
