"Winter Harbor in Twilight"

Winter Harbor in Twilight
by Eskil Skans (Swedish, 1905–1989)

Bring the quiet majesty and moody atmosphere of a Nordic winter into your collection with this mid-century oil painting by Swedish artist Eskil Skans. Set in a snow-covered fishing harbor, the scene shows small wooden boats resting on ice-bound water before a backdrop of snow-dusted cottages and boathouses. Bathed in the soft light of a low winter sky, the composition plays warm terracotta and dusky purple against crisp white, slate blue and muted green.

Skans painted landscapes, still lifes and harbor scenes throughout his career, and his work is held in the collection of the Kristianstad Museum in southern Sweden. Here his rich, expressive impasto turns a cold harbor into something warm and inviting. Presented in a vintage gold frame with a cream linen liner and a fine white inner lip.
