Farm in the Fields

Colorful impressionist midcentury oil painting of a farm in a field. Oil on canvas, c. 1960s, signed.

Helge Cardell (1902-1972) has used many different colors to create this atmospheric landscape. If you look closely, you’ll see hues of pink, bright blue and purples, next to the several hues of yellow and light blue.

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage wooden/gilded frame. Both painting and frame 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: 68,5 cm x 38,5 cm (with frame)
