Four Herrings

Expressionist vintage oil painting of some fresh herring in a piece of paper on a table. Oil on canvas, signed.

Rustic and charming painting of a every day scene: fresh fish from the market! The fish are painted realistically, with light blues and grays depicting their shiny silvery skin. However, the table and surroundings are painted more loosely.

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage wooden. 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: 52 x 62 cm (with frame)

About the artist:

Hans-Erik Eriksson is a Stockholm painter, who lived between the years 1921 and 1998. Eriksson was born in Bromma in the greater Stockholm region and studied art at the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. Eriksson took his creative impulses from the art of the 1950s, which was dominated by abstract expressionism. His works consist largely of floral still lifes and landscape painting, often of Stockholm and the surrounding areas in the archipelago. He exhibited in several Swedish cities. Eriksson was married to painter Brita Henriz.
