Swedish art

  • Study for Rokoko (1888)

    Study for Rokoko (1888)

    Carl Larsson (Swedish, 1853–1919)

    Delicate pastel hues swirl around figures in powdered wigs, their gestures frozen mid-conversation. The sketch captures Rococo’s playful elegance—whispered secrets and rustling silk suggested with quick, confident strokes. A world of aristocratic leisure emerges from these loose lines, both spontaneous and precise.

  • Hins Anders (1904)

    Hins Anders (1904)

    Anders Zorn (Swedish, unknown)

    A young boy’s gaze meets the viewer, his expression caught between curiosity and quiet reserve. The brushwork is loose yet precise, capturing the softness of youth against a muted background. There’s an unspoken tension in his stillness—as if he might turn away any moment.

  • By Jerusalem. (1921)

    By Jerusalem. (1921)

    Anna Boberg (Swedish, unknown)

    Golden light spills over ancient stone walls, casting long shadows across the city. The air hums with quiet reverence, a timeless pause before the clamor of daily life resumes. Jerusalem stands eternal yet fleeting, caught between earth and sky.

  • Pontus Fürstenberg (1898)

    Pontus Fürstenberg (1898)

    Anders Zorn (Swedish, unknown)

    A man leans forward, his sharp gaze and confident posture framed by a dark coat. The brushstrokes capture his quiet authority, the light catching his face with striking clarity. There’s an unspoken intensity in the way he holds himself—like a conversation paused mid-sentence.

  • A Fairy (Kersti In The Meadow) (1899)

    A Fairy (Kersti In The Meadow) (1899)

    Carl Larsson (Swedish, 1853–1919)

    A girl in a white dress stands barefoot in the meadow, sunlight dappling through the trees. She holds a flower, half-turned as if caught between worlds—part child, part something wilder. The grass brushes her ankles, and for a moment, the air hums with the possibility of wings.
