Important Notice
This is a timed auction, with all bidding taking place via these online pages. There is no auctioneer. Each lot has its own scheduled end time (indicated next to each lot). If a bid is placed in the last few minutes before the lot end time, the clock will extend by two minutes to allow bidding to continue.

The best way to bid is to place the maximum you would be willing to spend and let the computer do the rest. If no one else places a bid, you will win the lot for the reserve. If other bids are placed, the system will raise your bid amount to the increment above the next highest bid, until your maximum bid is exceeded. This is called proxy bidding. You will receive emails when your bid has increased in value or when you have been outbid.

A busy marina in style I can only describe as a blend of impressionism and Modernism. The foreshortened perspectives and disrupted proportions are all modernist but the isolated fishing smack returning to harbour on the horizon is all traditional Swedish marine painting.

The paint has been laid on with a JCB and although the canvas is original and in great condition, the craquelure on the paint is very evident and although it is sound - the paint is not going anywhere - it may put off some buyers not used to buying paintings of this age.
