A striking large-format oil painting by renowned Swedish painter Birger Hjelm, titled “Evening in March, 1969”. This evocative winter landscape captures the quiet stillness of early spring’s approach. The composition centers on a low sun setting behind a dense wall of dark fir trees, casting a golden glow across the snow-covered ground. In the foreground, pale, leafless birch trees stretch upward, their delicate forms finely rendered with both impressionistic softness and striking detail. The atmosphere is serene yet luminous, with a masterful interplay of light, shadow, and texture. A superb example of Hjelm’s poetic approach to the Nordic landscape.
Great vintage condition, the white on the inner frame is most likely not original
