Early 20th century Original Scandinavian Oil Portrait Young Bather Signed Liden ^Sale

A charming antique oil painting capturing the midday heat of a summer day on the shore of a fjord or sea bay. This authentic early 20th-century work by unknown Scandinavian artist V. Liden depicts a young teenage girl preparing to bathe on this hot summer day. She stands mesmerized by the water's edge, enchanted by the sound of the surf and the magical dance of the rolling waves. The distant shore depicted by the artist stretches to the very horizon, giving the composition remarkable depth, while the warm tones of the sun-drenched rocky coastline beautifully contrast with the cool blue of the sea and sky. This painting is a magnificent example of Scandinavian realism, once again confirming the importance of this artistic movement's contribution to the rich heritage of European art. This work of art will make a wonderful addition to the collection of someone who appreciates not only the visual imagery but also the meaning of the unfolding action that the artist seeks to convey in this piece.
