Vintage Oil Painting by Axel Käller | Sweden, 1960s
This painting by Swedish artist Axel Käller (1905-1986), estimated to be from the 1960s, depicts an industrial harbor scene in the city of Gothenburg, Sweden. The muted, earthy palette—with shades of brown, gray, and muted reds—enhances the painting’s moody and reflective character. The brushwork is textured, with visible strokes that add depth and structure to the composition.
The wooden frame is aged and rustic, complementing the painting’s worn and weathered theme. The artist’s signature, “Käller” is visible in the bottom right corner, adding an authentic touch to this piece of mid-20th-century Scandinavian landscape painting.
• Condition: In fair vintage condition, featuring a charming patina that adds character, particularly on the frame. The canvas has developed a textured surface over time.
