AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Original mid-century abstract painting by Swedish artist Hans Osswald.
The work features a strong sculptural impasto technique with thick layers of oil paint creating a highly textured surface. The composition combines deep cobalt blue, earthy browns, greens and neutral tones in an expressive abstract form typical of Scandinavian modernist painting.

Signed “Hans Osswald” on the front.

The reverse retains the original exhibition label with a printed biography of the artist and historical gallery price range, indicating that the work was part of a gallery presentation.

Presented in a wooden frame.

A striking example of Nordic abstract expressionism from the mid-20th century.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with characteristic texture and age-related craquelure consistent with oil impasto.
