Garden by the Sea

Expressionist oil painting of the sea and cliffs seen through a lush garden. Oil on panel, signed and dated (1966).

Artist Lars Herder is known for his vibrant paintings, often of land- and seascapes around the southwest of Sweden. This fine piece is n affirming example of that. With just a few well placed quick brush strokes, Herder created this atmospheric view through a garden or forest by the coast.  

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, well-suited vintage 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: 32 x 32 cm (with frame)
