A captivating piece of mid-century Scandinavian folk art, this framed textile wall art depicts a stylised fisherwoman carrying a basket of fish on her head — a timeless motif rendered with remarkable detail and warmth. The figure is hand-embroidered in cobalt blue, burnt orange, cream, and brown on a natural linen ground, combining free-form embroidery with geometric patterning in a distinctly Scandinavian modernist style.
The piece is presented in its original silver aluminium frame with glass, ready to hang. The composition is tall and narrow, making it ideal for hallways, stairwells, or as a statement piece in a living room or study.
Technique: hand embroidery (free-form and satin stitch). Material: linen, wool and cotton thread. Frame: silver aluminium with glass. Dimensions: 60 x 23 cm. Origin: Sweden, mid-20th century. Condition: excellent vintage condition.
