Swedish School Nocturne With Sailboats

Swedish School Nocturne With Sailboats

A beautiful early 20th-century Swedish nocturne with numerous sailboats and a steamboat. Two-thirds of the composition is comprised of a cloudy sky with a partially obscured moon. While on the right, the coastline draws your eye out towards a distant rocky view.

Nocturnes always seem to capture the imagination with their dramatic skies and evocative moonlit scenery.

On the reverse, an inscription refers to when the artwork changed hands in the Summer of 1969.

The painting is held within a period gilt frame.
