Original Swedish oil painting depicting a serene coastal landscape with sweeping sand dunes and shoreline, created in Sweden during the Mid Century period. Painted on hardboard, this atmospheric seaside scene reflects Sten-Sture Sandgren’s well-known Scandinavian coastal style.
Soft pastel blues, sandy whites, and fresh dune grasses create a luminous Nordic composition. Expressive brushwork captures both wind and movement, while the expansive horizon adds calm and depth.

PLEASE NOTE: That I sell vintage paintings. These pieces have a history and may show signs of wear; some have been preserved in excellent condition, while others might have spent years stored away. They are not perfect—frames might be loose, worn, or scratched, and the paintings themselves can exhibit similar imperfections. I believe these flaws add to their unique charm, but aim to be as transparent as possible by highlighting any significant issues in my listings. The best way to assess their condition is through the photographs and video provided, so please examine them closely as they are part of the description.
