Swedish Landscape Oil Painting by Bengt Hillgrund
Typical Hillgrund landscape with the dominant clear blue sky and simple farm buildings and silhouette trees. Wonderful use of colour and texture via the thick brushstrokes. Hillgrund is recognised for his use of a harmonious colour palette and bold brushwork.
Condition: Very good vintage condition; original frame with a few knocks and bumps commensurate with age. Ready to hang.
