Striking impressionist oil painting of a valley with a tree and a shed. Oil on canvas, signed.
Stunning use of colors reminiscent of Vincent van Gogh and the fauvists. Painter Carl Olsson very skillfully created a landscape with depth and lots of appealing details that keep you looking over and over again.
The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary (new) wooden frame. The painting is in good vintage condition but shows some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to its charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.
Size 52 x 70 cm (with frame)
