Sven Harald Ahlgren (1922–1997) “Damen och blomman”. Oil on board.

Sven Harald Ahlgren (1922–1997) “Damen och blomman”. Oil on board. Atmospheric figurative composition featuring two stylised female figures in a mosaic-like structure of deep reds and golds. The tactile surface and elongated vertical format lend the work a ceremonial, iconic presence — a characteristic example of post-war Swedish modernism where figure and ornament merge into a rhythmic visual field.
