Vid Sjön, 1948

An original Swedish oil painting by Carl Österlund, dated 1948. Titled Vid Sjön — Swedish for “By the Lake” — the painting looks across a quiet stretch of water toward rolling green fields, scattered red farmhouses and wooded hills beyond. Loose, expressive brushwork moves through a soft palette of blue, green, lavender and ochre, capturing the open character of the Swedish countryside.

Signed C. Österlund lower left and dated 1948. Sourced in Sweden and presented in its vintage wood frame.

Why We Chose It

This one feels distinctly Swedish to us — open water, rolling green countryside and tiny red farmhouses tucked into the landscape. We especially loved the loose brushwork and the unexpected touches of lavender and blue throughout.
