A vintage oil painting of a rural village landscape, showing a cluster of houses with red roofs set against green hills. The scene is simplified and loosely painted, with strong bl ocks of colour rather than fine detail. The palette is natural and muted, with warm reds and ochres balanced by deep greens and greys. The paint is applied thickly in places, giving the surface a clear sense of texture. The composition is compact and well balanced, with the buildings forming the centre of the scene and the hills rising behind. Oil on panel by Swedish artist May Östberg (1907-1966).
