A quietly atmospheric interior by Swedish painter Birger Simonsson, depicting a table set before a tall window, a small cyclamen in bloom catching the soft northern light. The comp osition is characteristically restrained: vertical window frames anchor the scene, while the angled tabletop draws the eye inward, its surface broken by reflected light. Deep umbers and muted blue-greys create a contemplative palette, offset by the striped chair and the restrained red of the flowers. The brushwork is confident but unforced, with broad passages of tonal blocking that give the painting a grounded, modern sensibility. Oil on canvas signed in mongogram “BS”, lower right by Birger Simonsson (Sweden, 1883-1938). Dimensions: 61x72cm framed Provenance: Stiftelsen Pharmacias Konstsamling - Swedish Art Foundation Show more
