Street with Figure 1936

Erik Raadal's "Street with Figure" (1936) depicts a quiet Danish street scene. The painting features a lone figure in blue and brown clothing standing at the edge of the composition, their gaze directed away from the viewer. The viewer's attention is drawn to the composition's geometric shapes and the play of light and shadow as the sun bathes the street in a soft light, casting long shadows across the buildings. The muted colors and simplified forms contribute to a sense of serenity and stillness, characteristic of the artist's work and the "New Objectivity" movement.
