The composition is simple yet balanced: a pair of red farm buildings rests gently in the foreground, bordered by soft green fields that lead the eye toward stretch and distant, muted hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEkengren’s palette leans toward subdued, earthy tones, sage greens, dusty blues, and warm ochres, applied with visible, confident brushstrokes that give the surface a tactile, almost meditative quality. The sky, rendered in pale turquoise and cream, feels expansive but understated, enhancing the overall sense of stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s a pleasing naivety in the perspective and form, reminiscent of modernist Nordic painting of the mid-20th century, where atmosphere often takes precedence over detail. The work conveys a sense of rural tranquility rather than topographical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a complementary gilt frame with a linen slip, the presentation reinforces its period character and makes it a ready-to-hang piece with strong decorative appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFramed size: 49 x 44cm \/ 19.3 x 17.3in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique: Oil on board\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist:\u003cspan\u003e Sture Ekengren\u003c\/span\u003e, Swedish (1918-1996)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tomajoma by T Niklasson Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57631469437263,"sku":"A","price":2821.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0935\/6407\/6367\/files\/IMG_7529.jpg?v=1777993786","url":"https:\/\/tomajoma.com\/products\/pastoral-calm-vintage-mid-century-swedish-oil-painting-by-sture-ekengren","provider":"Tomajoma by T Niklasson Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
