Description

A stunning mid-century Nordic watercolour by the artist Eric Vasstrom (1887-1958). The effortless nature of Vasstrom's work displays his talented handing of the medium, with washes of colour applied in thin, delicate layers. This creates a hazy, and realistic interpretation of a cold Helsinki day. Well presented in a vintage frame. Signed and dated. Inscribed to the reverse. On watercolour paper.

Condition

The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and minor foxing. There are some scuffs and marks to the frame.

Size

40 x 32cm (15.7" x 12.6")
Framed Size: 53 x 45cm (20.9" x 17.7")
