A bold and richly textured modernist interior scene composition, painted in oil onto canvas the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

Executed in an expressive manner, the composition depicts a home interior setting of a room, and an open window presenting a view outside as well as being a light source casting angled shadows across the floor and walls.

The colour palette is subdued, consisting primarily of earthy tones—dark greens, muted oranges, and beige hues as well as contrasting dark shades of brown and black. These colours give a calm, almost melancholic feel to the piece.

The masterful use of the impasto technique adds depth and dimension to the painting as well as a textile quality. Each textured and forceful stroke is imbued with a palpable sense of movement and emotion, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner silver border. The painting has some light scattered craquelure present, but the paint layer is stable overall. There are two small areas of paint loss as shown in close ups. less
