A Swedish Still Life Painting of Fish and Red Peppers c1920

This Swedish still life painting of 3 fish offers a glimpse into a culinary moment, focusing on the raw beauty of freshly caught fish and vibrant red peppers. Executed with loose, expressive brushstrokes the artist captures the silvery sheen of the fish scales and the bold, glossy surfaces of the peppers. The composition emphasizes the textures and forms of the subjects, with a muted or earthy palette punctuated by the bright reds. This unpretentious portrayal of everyday ingredients suggests a connection to nature and the bounty of the sea and land, reflecting a regional artistic sensibility that finds beauty in the simple and direct representation of the natural world. I love this painting, its so well executed. Heirloom. Oil on canvas. Unsigned.
