The Houses on the Coast

A striking Swedish oil on canvas, likely early-20th century, depicting a coastal village rendered in bold blocks of color, terracotta, ochre, slate, and sea blue. The composition is built almost like a mosaic, with overlapping geometric shapes suggesting rooftops and walls cascading toward the shoreline. Time has lent the surface a rich network of craquelure, adding texture and depth that enhance its sense of history. The gold frame with a white inner crackling slip underscores the painting’s luminous palette, elevating its modernist character while preserving its vintage charm.

Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth.
