Mid-Century Modern Swedish "The Priests" Vintage Figurative Oil Painting, Framed

The priests. Size: 60 X 48 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas. A brilliantly painted mid century figurative portrait of 2 priests, executed in oil onto canvas. Working with a restrained and muted colour palette, the artist has flattened the respective forms, reducing them down to blocks of contrasting shades. Despite the minor tonal differences, there is a wonderful sense of depth within the picture. The artist has included a shadow in sepia in the background. This figurative painting certainly has a timeless quality to it. This oil on canvas is housed in a beautiful dark wood frame that has an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting within it. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
