oil on canvas signed Rikard Lindström unframed 71 x 100 cm framed 78 x 108 cm
Provenance: A Swedish private collection
Essay:
Depicting a winter wonderland, this piece mesmerizes the viewer with its turquoise sky - a bold and unique choice that draws the eyes upwards. But the narrative is more profound. Set against this sky is a distant, rugged stone hill, standing as a testament to the timeless beauty of nature. A few trees benethe the hill, gracefully blanketed with snow. The snow itself is no ordinary white, but a mix of pink and blue shimmers, giving the piece a more interesting quality.
More intriguing are the tracks left in the snow. Whose might they be? An animal, perhaps? Or did the artist himself tread this frozen landscape, leaving behind a subtle signature? Such is the mystery of Lindström's work.
Rikard Magnus Lindström (1882-1943) was not just a painter but a storyteller, deeply rooted in his Swedish heritage. He's best known for his paintings of archipelago scenes, where the tranquil and tempestuous moods of the sea often play central characters. Born in Stockholm, Lindström's journey into the art world began at the Konstakademien in Stockholm, and his passion took him to Copenhagen and Paris. Throughout his life, Lindström's restless spirit saw him wander, capturing the diverse landscapes of Stockholm's archipelago, Västkusten, Åland, and notably, Lofoten. His affinity for portraying the vast expanse of the sea, often with sailing vessels in the backdrop, is legendary.
Lindström's colors were described as "powerful yet harmonious," and this piece is no exception. The juxtaposition of the turquoise sky with the shimmering snow showcases his masterful play with colors.
A member of the younger generation of the Konstnärsförbundet, Lindström was greatly influenced by the older members, particularly by Karl Nordström's national-romantic paintings. Besides painting, Lindström had a flair for writing and was a popular contributor to Dagens Nyheter, often penning articles and notes in Morgonbris.
However, beneath the vivacious, nature-loving exterior was a man of depth and complexity, as his ex-wife, Martha Rydell-Lindström, has depicted in her book. He was a lover of life, but his nature held layers of vulnerability and tenderness.
Today, this winter landscape stands as a tribute not just to Lindström's artistic genius but to the very essence of the man himself. Embrace the opportunity to own a piece of Swedish art history, painted by an artist whose legacy continues to inspire.
Rikard Lindströms paintings can be seen in many museums across the Nordic region, such as:
Modern Museum (Moderna Museet) Gothenburg Art Museum (Göteborgs Konstmuseum Thiel Gallery (Thielska Galleriet) Stockholm City Museum (Stockholms Stadsmuseum) Norrköping Art Museum (Norrköpings Konstmuseum) Helsingborg Museum (Helsingborgs Museum) Maritime Museum (Sjöhistoriska Museet) Västergötland Museum (Västergötlands Museum) North Norwegian Art Museum (Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum) National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst) in Copenhagen Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde (Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde) Zorn Museum (Zornmuseet) Mariehamn Town Hall (Mariehamns stadshus) Museums in Helsinki (Museum i Helsingfors)

Canal Scene, Early 1900s
oil on paper laid on masonite signed R Lindström unframed 33.5 x 26.5 cm framed 42.5 x 35.5 cm authenticated by Gustaf Jaensson on the back.
Essay: For sale is a captivating painting by the Swedish artist, Rikard Lindström (1882-1943). Depicting a picturesque water canal, with charming houses lining its left side, this artwork radiates warmth and spontaneity. Two boats float gently on the water, while a crane stands tall in the distance. The painting exudes a palpable immediacy, with the varied brushwork – from thin, almost ephemeral strokes in the sky to the thicker, more pronounced ones – suggesting that it was painted on-site. In fact, small holes at the corners of the paper hint that Lindström might have painted it directly on point, most likely in Paris during the early 1900s.
About Rikard Lindström: A Journey Through Art and Travel
Born in Stockholm, Rikard Lindström established himself as a master of maritime and archipelago motifs. He began his artistic journey at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm in 1901, later expanding his horizons with studies under Kristian Zahrtmann in Copenhagen from 1902 to 1905 and many travels to Paris. The spirit of a wanderer, Lindström's travels across locations like Stockholm's archipelago, the West Coast, Åland, and particularly Lofoten, Norway, profoundly influenced his art.
Lindström's works often portrayed the sea in all its moods and vessels from behind, revealing a keen interest in life by the water. The bold yet harmonious colors in his pieces speak volumes of his deep appreciation for the maritime world.
Being part of the younger faction of the Artists' Association, Lindström was inspired by the older members like Karl Nordström and his national-romantic paintings. Lindström's work has been exhibited extensively, from Stockholm to Berlin, Venice, and the USA.
Furthermore, Rikard Lindström wasn't just an artist but also a writer, contributing articles and musings to newspapers like Dagens Nyheter.
Lindström's legacy in art is preserved in numerous museums. His works can be found in esteemed institutions like the Moderna Museet, Göteborgs Konstmuseum, Thielska Galleriet, and many more across Sweden and beyond, including the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen and museums in Helsinki.

The Grape Seller
oil on canvas unframed: 80.7 x 61 cm.; 31 ¾ x 24 in. framed: 109.5 x 89 cm.; 43 1/8 x 35 in.
Essay: This captivating piece, originating from the studio of the revered Dutch artist Jacob Ochtervelt, mirrors the composition of a signed and dated 1669 canvas by Ochtervelt that is presently housed in the Hermitage museum. Its subject, "The Grape Seller" immerses us in a typical 17th-century interior, replete with characters from various strata of society.
At the center, a fruit vendor is depicted bending over to weigh grapes for the buyer. A child hands some of the grapes to her mother to taste, their attentive maid standing by. The backdrop showcases typical Ochtervelt details: a hint of the city visible through the doorway, light filtering in through an overhead window, and a playful dog at their side.
The exquisite quality of the piece is evident in the minutiae, such as the intricate detailing of the mother's earring, which in reality spans only a few millimeters yet boasts impressive attention to detail. Initially, Sotheby's considered this work to be an autograph piece by Ochtervelt. But due to some uncertainty, it was auctioned as Workshop of Jacob Ochtervelt. On the other hand, the esteemed Cabinet Turquin in Paris leans toward attributing the piece directly to Jacob Ochtervelt himself.
The painting is framed in an authentic period frame, which has been delicately restored by Stockholm's Förgyllning och Bildhuggeri. The frame retains its age-old patina and, while in used condition, has minor imperfections adding to its charm.
Another interesting thing worth to mention is the painting's provenance. It was once owned by the 1st Viscount Rothermere (1868-1940), the founder of the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. As one of the wealthiest individuals in Britain during his lifetime, Viscount Rothermere amassed a remarkable art collection. This painting was included in the book "Works of Art in the Collection of Viscount Rothermere" where its illustrated in black and white and expertise by Wilhelm Bode.

Condition: Very good condition with bright and clear colors.
Essay: We are delighted to offer a unique and evocative piece by the Swedish artist Ingeborg Westfelt-Eggertz. This small oil sketch captures a moment in time, portraying a young man seated amidst the grass. Dressed in a vest and hat, the young boy appears to be in his late teens or early twenties. His gaze is directed away, captured in contemplation or perhaps lost in distant thoughts. Painted with swift strokes, the artwork embodies spontaneity, presenting an unfinished portrait of the young man surrounded by rapidly rendered greenery.
There's a distinct charm to unfinished artworks and oil sketches like this one. Such paintings offer a rare insight into the artist's creative process, almost serving as a window into their thoughts and initial intentions. At many times a sketch can be more interesting than a finished painting, as it reveals the raw, unfiltered essence of the artist's vision.
The sketch is signed and the place of its creation is inscribed on the front: Saint Nazaire, Bretagne, painted around 1883-1889.
Born in Stockholm on 17th May 1855, Ingeborg Aurora Westfelt-Eggertz was a pivotal figure in the Swedish art world. Daughter to chamberlain Carl Peter Westfelt and Aurora Charlotta Löthman, she later married the editor August Emil Eggertz in 1893. Her artistic journey began at the Technical School and then led her to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm from 1873 to 1880. Further honing her craft, she studied under Collin and Courtois in Paris by 1883. While in Paris, she opened a school for young women from high society in 1887 and contributed drawings to the Delagrave publishing firm.
Returning to Stockholm in 1890, she co-established a painting school for female students with Elisabeth Keyser. Throughout her life, she shifted residences, living in places such as Visby, Landskrona, and finally settling in Gothenburg by 1903. No matter where she resided, Westfelt-Eggertz remained committed to educating and establishing painting schools for women alongside her personal creations. Her oeuvre consists mainly of genre scenes, figure depictions, and portraits, often in pastel. Several works from her Parisian period found homes with North and South American collectors.
Her accomplishments include awards such as a gold medal in oil painting in Arcachon in 1888, a silver medal in Versailles in 1889, and a Mention Honorable in Evreux. Her legacy is immortalized in esteemed institutions like the Göteborg Art Museum, Hallands Art Museum, Bohuslän Museum in Uddevalla, and the National Museum in Stockholm.

Provenance: A Swedish private collection
Essay: We are pleased to present a magnificent painting by the talented Swedish artist, Alfred Ekstam (1878-1935). This breathtaking landscape features a view over a lake, believed to be Lake Mangen, near Ekstam's hometown. In the foreground, a lush green field extends to the lake, which shimmers in hues of purple, blue, and white, reminiscent of Claude Monet's impressionistic technique of painting water. It is a sight to behold. The sky, filled with clouds, is also mirrored in the water, adding depth and dimension to the scene. In the distance, green mountains loom, completing this picturesque vista.
Alfred Ekstam was born in Mangskog in 1878, originally with the surname Johansson. He began his career as a painter's apprentice to a local master painter. After a few years, he moved to Stockholm to attend the Technical School, where his ambition to become an artist was ignited. However, finding it difficult to make a living as an artist, he returned to Värmland. Ekstam was a skilled craftsman and was discovered by Elis Eriksson at the Eriksson brothers' furniture workshop, where he was employed as a decorative painter. He also came into contact with notable artists such as Gustaf Fjæstad, Fritz Lindström, and Bror Lindh, who all provided lessons to the budding artist. A significant moment in Ekstam’s artistic journey was a visit to the artist Otto Hesselbom in Säffle, which greatly influenced his painting style. Ekstam's production was modest as he spent a long time on each painting, perfecting every detail. This dedication to his craft paid off in 1919 when all the paintings exhibited at his solo exhibition in Arvika were sold within a week. Tragically, Alfred Ekstam passed away in 1935 while cycling to Edane to visit an exhibition in Karlstad.
This particular piece showcases Ekstam's masterful handling of light and color, and his ability to capture the natural beauty of his homeland. It is not just a painting; it is a window into the serene and beautiful world that Ekstam saw through his own eyes. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of history and beauty, painted by an artist who lived and breathed the very scenes he committed to canvas.
Condition: When we acquired the painting, it was in desperate need of restoration. Dirt had become encapsulated in the varnish layer, evidently applied by someone unfamiliar with the proper technique. However, the artwork has since been meticulously restored and is now in excellent condition. Additionally, it includes a frame that was newly crafted in 2023.

Anton Genberg - Master of Impressionist Landscapes
Among the treasured classic arts we offer for sale is this stunning painting by the artist Anton Genberg. Born in 1862 to Pehr Jonsson and Anna Genberg, he left an indelible mark on the art world through his magnificent creations. Genberg's life was colored with a passion for exploration, study, and artistic expression.
His artistic journey began with studies at the Tekniska skolan in Stockholm from 1882 to 1884, during which he also honed his skills at Oscar Törnås' private painting school. He furthered his education under the tutelage of Per Daniel Holm at the prestigious Konstakademien from 1884 to 1889. During these years, Genberg's exceptional talent was recognized with numerous scholarships and medals.
Our painting, dated 1889, transports us to a captivating scene just some minutes after sunset. The canvas is imbued with a beautiful golden glow as the sun's last rays kiss the sky. Amidst a serene lake, the heavenly light reflects, painting the water's surface with mesmerizing shades of purple. In the distance, the landscape is dominated by a mountainous forest, while in the foreground, a stretch of land adorned with bushes creates a sense of depth. The impressionist style comes alive through Genberg's swift brushstrokes, reminiscent of the masterful techniques employed by Rembrandt, with branches delicately etched using the opposite end of the brush.
Genberg's fame as a landscape artist was solidified through his enchanting depictions of snow-laden landscapes from Norrland, particularly the majestic "fjällen" (mountains). His art also captured the allure of Stockholm, Dalarna, and his birthplace in Jämtland. Notably, his masterpiece "Vinterafton" earned him a place of honor at the esteemed Nationalmuseum.
Beyond his creative pursuits, Anton Genberg was actively involved in the art community. He served as the vice-chairman of the Svenska konstnärernas förening from 1913 to 1918 and held a position on the board of Sveriges allmänna konstförening from 1906 to 1939. His exceptional contributions were recognized when he was elected as a member of the Konstakademien in 1922.
Throughout his life, Genberg resided in various places, leaving behind a trail of artistic inspiration. From 1916 to 1924, he lived in the enchanting Villa Wallbeck-Hansen, a masterpiece of national romanticism, located on Parkvägen 46 in Storängen, Nacka. Later, in 1924, he had a villa built on Ängsvägen 14, also in Storängen, designed by architect Per Benson, where he lived until 1929.
Anton Genberg's artistic journey came to a close in 1939, and he was laid to rest at the Norra Begravningsplatsen in Östersund.
The legacy of this brilliant artist endures through his art, which can be admired in various prominent museums such as Nationalmuseum, Helsingborgs museer, Gävle museum, Jamtli, Nordiska museet, and Västerås konstförenings galleri.
We invite you to revel in the beauty and mastery of Anton Genberg's timeless artistry, capturing nature's wonders through an impressionist lens.

Inscription on a board that the canvas was previous mounted on:Vy över gamla kyrkan, sedd från "Villa Bo" (today mounted on a new canvas stretcher without the board)
Essay: Introducing "Scandinavian Winter Landscape, 1907" a mesmerizing painting by the artist Arthur Percy Carlsson, later known as Arthur C:son Percy (1886-1976). Born in Vickleby, Öland, Percy's artistic journey was one defined by unwavering determination and exceptional talent.
This landscape painting presents a winter landscape, likely set during the early spring season. The canvas portrays a vast, snow-filled meadow, blanketed in pristine white. Above, the sky comes alive in a captivating pointillist style, with hues of blue, turquoise, and yellow forming delicate, scattered dots, while small clouds grace the horizon.
The scene unfolds with an enchanting backdrop of a distant forest, its trees adorned with a touch of winter's charm. Between the enchanting forest and the expansive meadow, a few humble houses grace the canvas. An inscription on the back suggests that these charming structures could be old church buildings, adding an intriguing historical dimension to the artwork. The inscription reads "Vy över gamla kyrkan, sedd från 'Villa Bo'," translating to "View of the old church, seen from 'Villa Bo'."
Painted with meticulous attention to detail and a captivating use of colors, this artwork transports viewers into a serene world of tranquility and beauty. The warm, subtle glow of the spring light envelops the landscape, evoking a sense of calm and wonder, as if capturing a fleeting moment of natural grace.
Beyond the captivating painting, the artist Arthur Percy, was a prodigious talent who left an indelible mark on both the world of fine arts and design. At the age of 17, Percy began his artistic journey as an assistant to a decorative painter in Stockholm. Despite facing financial constraints, his passion and talent earned him a place at the esteemed Konstnärsförbundets skola (Artists' Association School).
Percy's artistic pursuits continued to blossom, and he became an integral part of the influential artist group "De unga" or "1909 års män," whose groundbreaking 1909 exhibition marked a significant step towards Swedish modernism. Eager to expand his artistic horizons, Percy and some of his fellow students embarked on a journey to Paris in 1908, where they were immersed in a vibrant art scene, encountering renowned masters such as Henri Matisse, Gauguin, Bracque, and Picasso. The late Cezanne also served as a significant source of inspiration for Percy.
While his accomplishments in design were commendable, Arthur Percy always considered himself first and foremost a painter. He ardently devoted the majority of his time to his passion for the fine arts, producing many work that captured the essence of nature and the spirit of his time.
This painting "Scandinavian Winter Landscape, 1907," serves as a testament to Arthur Percy's extraordinary talent and artistic vision. Its enchanting portrayal of a winter wonderland perfectly encapsulates the essence of his artistic prowess.

Moments of Reflection
oil on canvas signed Sam Uhrdin canvas dimensions 65 x 55 cm with frame 83 x 72 cm
Essay: We are pleased to present a captivating painting by the artist Sam Uhrdin (1886-1964). This beautiful artwork depicts a woman from Dalarna, sitting in front of a warm, glowing fire. The entire painting is bathed in a soft, radiant light, particularly illuminating her face and traditional white/red attire. The woman appears contemplative, lost in thought, perhaps thinking of someone dear to her heart. She is depicted in a kitchen, taking a moment to relax after a day's chores in her home.
Sam Uhrdin's artistic journey began in the early 1900s, he traveled to Stockholm in 1903 to further continue his studies in painting. He worked as a painter during the day and attended various evening schools in the evenings. In 1906, he journeyed to America to work as a sign painter, but he mainly ended up working as an upholsterer. Returning to Leksand in 1909 via London and Paris, his artistic talent gained recognition, and with the help of some patrons, he began studying at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1911, occasionally attending Althin's painting school in Stockholm. Financial circumstances cut his study time short, and his skill as a portrait painter earned him numerous portrait commissions, which further occupied his time.
In 1921, Uhrdin received a scholarship from the Royal Academy, enabling him to embark on a study trip in 1922 to the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, which he had to cut short due to his wife's illness. He later visited places like Spain and Portugal.
Uhrdin's breakthrough came with his portrait of the former Prime Minister Nils Edén, which he executed in 1919. In 1921, he portrayed the participants of the Swedish Academy. Among other representatives of official Sweden captured by Uhrdin were Gustav V, Manne Siegbahn, Ludvig Stavenow, and bishops Gottfrid and Einar Billing. In 1932, he held a solo exhibition at Konstnärshuset in Stockholm, and he participated in various exhibitions, including the Swedish Artists' Association in Stockholm in 1917, Swedish Art at Valand-Chalmers in Gothenburg in 1923, Dalarna Artists displayed at Liljevalchs Konsthall in 1936, and the National Museum's traveling exhibition "Barnet i konsten" (Children in Art) in 1965.
Uhrdin had a deep affection for the old Dala culture, and in a timber building in Tibble, he collected old objects from Leksand's culture, such as costumes, furniture, and household items, which he later used as props in his paintings. His artistic repertoire included genre paintings, portraits, and landscapes, with a particular focus on capturing the beauty of Dalarna. From 1935, he owned Tibble Manor outside Leksand. Uhrdin's artworks can be found in prestigious collections, including the National Museum in Stockholm, Leksand's Art Gallery, Uppsala University, and Leksand's Church, featuring his unfinished painting "Begravning i Leksand" (Burial in Leksand).

In the vast realm of art history, there are certain works that transcend time and space, transporting us to a world of beauty and serenity.

Created in 1902, this captivating piece depicts a scene from Haga in Stockholm, capturing the essence of a sunny summer day by the water's edge.
"Summer's Day in Haga, 1902" transports us to Hagaparken in Stockholm, where nature's tranquillity takes centre stage. Set against a picturesque shoreline, a cluster of birch trees gracefully leans towards the water's edge, creating an enchanting sight. Tryggelin's artistry shines through in every brushstroke as he skillfully captures the essence of the scene. Delicate blades of grass emerge from the water's surface, perfectly mirrored in its stillness. The reflection creates a mesmerizing interplay between reality and its watery counterpart, adding depth and intrigue to the composition.
Hagaparken, a gem in Stockholm, provides the perfect motif for this artistic creation. Renowned for its serene beauty and scenic vistas, the park offers a peaceful haven amidst the bustling city. Tryggelin, a master at capturing the soul of nature, found inspiration within Hagaparken's idyllic setting, infusing his artwork with its harmonious essence.
The painting invites us to escape the chaos of everyday life, immersing ourselves in the gentle sway of the birch trees, the tranquil reflections in the water, and the timeless beauty of Hagaparken.

Johan Christoffer Boklund (1817-1880)
The Young Artist
oil on canvas mounted on board canvas dimensions 40 x 31.5 cm frame 53 x 45 cm
Essay: Introducing a captivating oil painting by Johan Christoffer Boklund (1817-1880). The artwork depicts a young boy practicing his painting skills. Seated beside him is a wooden horse that he is diligently recreating on a round wooden panel. His painting style is simple, revealing his early stage as an artist. The horse he paints consists of straight lines, almost resembling a stick figure, which adds a charming element when juxtaposed with the actual wooden horse.
In 1837, Johan Christoffer Boklund arrived in Stockholm and joined the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1846, accompanied by Johan Fredrik Höckert, he embarked on a journey to Munich, where he stayed for eight years. It was during this period that he developed his artistic skills further. In 1853, he sent his painting "The Curious Trumpeter" back to Sweden, which earned him a government scholarship and paved the way for his subsequent journey to Paris. In Paris, he worked at Thomas Couture's studio from 1854 to 1855. Boklund returned to Sweden in December 1855.
Upon his return, he became a teacher at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1856 and was appointed as a professor. That same year, he played a key role in the establishment of the Artists' Club (Konstnärsklubben). From 1856 to 1872, he served as the tutor to King Charles XV. In 1861, he became a member of the committee responsible for organizing the interior of the National Museum and acted as the acting treasurer at the Royal Museum. In 1866, he became the head curator of the Art Department at the National Museum and, in 1867, the court curator, overseeing Karl XV's painting collection, as well as serving as the director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Boklund was also a committee member involved in organizing the Nordic Art Exhibition in Stockholm in 1866.
His works can be found in various art institutions, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, the Gothenburg Museum of Art, the Vänersborg Museum, the Norrköping Art Museum, and the Kalmar Art Museum.

HILDING WERNER (1880-1944) Swedish
Värmland Landscape With a Red Barn
oil on board signed H Werner c. 1940 board dimensions 46 x 62 cm A walnut tree frame, handmade by Christer Björkman is included, dimensions 58 x 74 cm.
Hilding Werner, A Värmland artist, was a distinguished Swedish painter and draftsman. Born to landowner Anders Andersson and Inga Maria Johannesdotter, Werner's artistic journey began after completing his studies at Karlstad University. In 1899, he enrolled at Caleb Althin's painting school in Stockholm, simultaneously working as a cartoonist for the newspaper Nya Nisse.
In 1905, Werner embarked on his sole study trip to the Netherlands. However, it was upon settling in Hammartjärnet in 1907 and establishing his own studio that he truly found his artistic niche. During those initial years, he maintained contact with fellow painters in the group known as De Frie and actively participated in their exhibitions.
Upon returning to Värmland, Werner crossed paths with Gustaf Fjæstad, renowned for his romantic and realistic landscape paintings. In 1912, Werner, Fjæstad, and Bror Lindh embarked on a boat trip to visit Otto Hesselbom in Säffle. The encounter with Hesselbom's art left an indelible impression on Werner, significantly shaping his future artistic endeavours.
This particular painting is most likely set in either Gillbergsdalen or Fryksdalen. Its remarkable attention to detail is evident in the seamless transition of colours in the sky, gracefully fading from blue to purple, pink, red, and yellow. The painting exudes meticulousness, capturing the essence of a typical Swedish arable landscape with a red barn as its focal point. The surrounding misty pond reflects the scenery beautifully, making this piece a rare gem in impeccable condition.

Beneath the Birch
signed Chr. Berg pencil and watercolor on board 38 x 29.5 cm frame dimensions 54 x 45 cm the frame with UV protected glass is included
Essay: We are proud to present an exquisite drawing by the renowned artist Christian Berg (1893-1976), executed around the 1920s. This captivating artwork portrays a landscape, showcasing the artist's remarkable talent and attention to detail.
The focal point of the composition rests on the left, where a solitary leafless birch tree gracefully extends its branches across the entire expanse of the sky. The artist's meticulous rendering of the intricate branch structure is truly awe-inspiring, displaying an impressive level of detail and precision.
To the right of the birch tree, some water comes into view and behind the birch tree, several spruce trees emerge, their forms delicately captured with green watercolor strokes. The surrounding ground, adorned with a lush green wash, seamlessly integrates with the natural environment of the trees.
In the background, the artist employs the soft hues of watercolor to depict distant, misty mountains. The bluish tones create a sense of depth, enhancing the overall serenity and vastness of the scene.
"My sculptural work is an expression of what captivates and engages me, whether it's a unique flower, a tree's form, a stone, or a seashell fragment on the beach that one desires to turn into poetry, or transforming a figure into a monumental stance, where the interplay of proportions seeks to evoke a sense of gravity and religiosity." - Christian Berg
Christian Berg, primarily known for his later abstract sculptures, demonstrates his versatility an artist through this exceptional landscape drawing. While his abstract sculptures have gained significant acclaim and are highly sought after by collectors, this earlier work showcases his skillful mastery of capturing the essence of nature with astonishing precision.
The drawing's meticulous details and the artist's profound understanding of the beauty of the natural world make it a true masterpiece. It serves as a testament to Christian Berg's artistic range and his ability to evoke emotion and connection through his diverse body of work.

Provenance: Christie's London, 2 November 2016, lot 180 (as Attributed to Francesco Guardi), sold for GBP 102.500; Private collection France; Sotheby’s Paris, 17 June 2021, lot 165 (as Attributed to Francesco Guardi)
Essay: No Venetian painter was a stranger to the sea. After all, Venice was not only one of the most prominent ports of the Mediterranean, but indeed a city literally submerged in the ocean from time to time. Curiously however, the famous Venetian school of painting showed little interest in maritime motifs, favouring scenes from the iconic architecture of the city rather than seascapes. That is why this painting is a particularly interesting window into not only the painter Francesco Guardi himself – but to the significance of the element of water in art history, in absence as well as in the centre of attention.
Whether it be calm, sunny days with stunning views of the palaces alongside the canals of Venice or – more rarely – stormy shipwrecking tragedies at sea, water as a unifying element is integral to the works of painter Francesco Guardi (1712–1793). During his lifetime, Venetian art saw many of its greatest triumphs with names like Tiepolo or Canaletto gaining international recognition and firmly establishing Venice as one of the most vibrant artistic communities of Europe. While the city itself already in the 18th century was something of an early tourist spot where aristocrats and high society visited on their grand tour or travels, the artists too contributed to the fame and their work spread the image of Venice as the city of romance and leisure to an international audience, many of whom could never visit in person.
Still today, the iconic image of Venice with its whimsical array of palaces, churches and other historic buildings is much influenced by these artists, many of whom have stood the test of time like very well and remain some of the most beloved in all of art history. It was not primarily subtility, intellectual meanings or moral ideals that the Venetian art tried to capture; instead it was the sheer vibrancy of life and the fast-paced city with crumbling palaces and festive people that made this atmosphere so special. Of course, Venice could count painters in most genres among its residents, from portraiture to religious motifs, history painting and much else. Still, it is the Vedutas and views of the city that seems to have etched itself into our memory more than anything else, not least in the tradition of Canaletto who was perhaps the undisputed master of all Venetian painters.
Born into his profession, Francesco lived and breathed painting all his life. His father, the painter Domenico Guardi (1678–1716) died when Francesco was just a small child, yet both he and his brothers Niccolò and Gian Antonio continued in their fathers’ footsteps. The Guardi family belonged to the nobility and originated from the mountainous area of Trentino, not far from the Alps. The brothers worked together on more challenging commissions and supported each other in the manner typical of family workshops or networks of artists. Their sister Maria Cecilia married no other than the artist Giovanni Battista Tiepolo himself, linking the family to the most renowned Venetian name of the time. During almost a decade, Guardi worked in the studio of Michele Giovanni Marieschi, sometimes simply known as Michiel, a painted similar in both style and motif. Canaletto is, however, the artist Guardi is most often compared to since they shared a mutual fascination for depicting the architecture and cityscape of Venice.
During the course of his career, Guardi tried his hand in many different genres. He was as swift in painting landscapes, Vedutas of Venice, sacred motifs, interiors and architectural compositions as he was in a number of other motifs. His style is typical of the Venetian school but also distinct and personal once we look a little closer. There is an absolute certainty in the composition, the choice of which sometimes feels like that of a carefully calculated photograph – yet it is also very painterly, in the best sense of the word: fluid, bold, sensitive and full of character. The brushwork is rapid, intense, seemingly careless and extraordinarily minute at the same time; fresh and planned in a very enjoyable mixture. His interiors often capture the breath-taking spacious glamour of the palaces and all their exquisite decor. He usually constructed the motif through remarkably simple, almost spontaneous yet intuitively precise strokes and shapes. The result was a festive, high-spirited atmospheric quality, far away from the sterile and exact likeness that other painters fell victim to when trying to copy Canaletto.
The painting here has nothing of the city of Venice in it. On the contrary, we seem to be transported far away into the solitary ocean, with no architecture, nothing to hold on to – only the roaring sea and the dangerous cliffs upon which the ships are just moments away from being crushed upon. It is a maritime composition evoking both Flemish and Italian precursors, in the proud tradition of maritime painting that for centuries formed a crucial part of our visual culture.
This genre of painting is today curiously overlooked, compared to how esteemed and meaningful it was when our relationship to the sea was far more natural than it is today. When both people and goods travelled by water, and many nations and cities – Venice among them – depended entirely on sea fare, the existential connection to the ocean was much more natural and integrated into the imagination. The schools and traditions of maritime art are as manifold as there are countries connected to the sea, and all reflect the need to process the dangers and wonders of the ocean.
It could symbolize opportunity, the exciting prospects of a new countries and adventures, prospering trade, beautiful scenery as well as war and tragedy, loss of life, danger and doom. To say that water is ambivalent in nature is an understatement, and these many layers were something that artists explored in the most wondrous ways. Perhaps it takes a bit more time for the modern eye to identify the different nuances and qualities of historic maritime paintings, they may on first impression seem hard to differentiate from each other. But when allowing these motifs to unfold and tell stories of the sea in both fiction and reality – or somewhere in between – we are awarded with an understanding of how the oceans truly built our world.
In Guardi’s interpretation, we see an almost theatrically arranged shipwrecking scene. No less than five ships are depicted right in the moment of utter disaster. Caught in a violent storm, the waves have driven them to a shore of sharp cliffs and if not swallowed by the waves, crushing against the cliffs seems to be the only outcome. The large wooden ships are impressively decorated with elaborate sculpture, and in fact relics already during Guardi’s lifetime. They are in fact typical of Dutch and Flemish 17th century ships, giving us a clue to where he got the inspiration from. Guardi must have seen examples of Flemish maritime art, that made him curious about these particular motifs. One is reminded of Flemish painters like Willem van de Velde and Ludolf Backhuysen, and this very painting has indeed been mistakenly attributed to Matthieu van Plattenberg. It bears, however, all the typical traits of Guardi and knowing his impressive versatility further strengthens the attribution to him, as do no less than ten other known versions of the same scene and a study drawing. Both the versions in Musée des Beaux-Arts in Montreal and the Gnecchi collection in Milan are particularly similar in their dramatic impact, treatment of the waves and positionings of the ships, together forming an interesting example of how one artist could rework and explore a composition.
Even though seascapes never became the speciality of Guardi, the existence of this painting is an intriguing testament to his virtuosity, and artistic advantages of using the sea as a metaphor for the fragility of life and man’s vulnerability against the elements. Furthermore, it gives greater depths to the understanding of the entire school of Venetian painting which, for all its iconic architectural splendour, was much more versatile than was is commonly assumed. The fact that artworks like these also remind us about a forgotten relationship to the sea further enhances the valuable lesson that a painting can be an eye-opener to history, once we give it the attention it deserves.

In several respects this drawing is closer to this painting than to the two versions of this composition by Guardi in the Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal and the Bortolotto collection. The design of the stern of the ship far right is different than in the Montreal picture, the crows nests are depicted at sharper angles and the cliffs along the right edge are more prominently displayed in the drawing and this lot. In the drawing the man standing on the rock has his arms outstretched and is trying to catch the rigging: in this picture he has already caught this.

Essay: We are delighted to present a painting by the artist Charles Cardale Luck, titled "Winter Twilight." Luck, a Swedish artist, had a diverse background, having lived in various countries including France and England, where he became associated with the Cornwall art movement.
Charles Cardale Lucks paintings are rarely seen in the art market. The present painting captures the ethereal beauty of twilight, with its soft light permeating the scene. The artist's masterful use of short, almost Pointillist brushstrokes in shades of blue, white, and purple creates mesmerizing reflections on the snow-covered landscape. One intriguing aspect of this piece is Luck's ingenious technique of carving undulations into the sky and trees using the back of the brush, reminiscent of the technique pioneered by Rembrandt. This adds a sense of drama and vitality to the overall composition, enhancing the viewer's experience.
It is worth noting that Charles Cardale Luck concluded his artistic journey in Kenya, Africa, a testament to his global exploration and artistic inspiration.

Condition: Good condition, newly restored by our professional art conservator in Stockholm. Please contact us for a more in-depth CR.
Essay: In this painting titled "Old Woman and Boy with Candles" an intriguing scene unfolds before our eyes. An older woman gazes ahead, her eyes shielded from the flickering candlelight, while a young boy stands behind her, holding his own candle, ready to ignite its flame. This artwork's play of light and darkness harks back to the technique employed by the renowned artist Rubens (Mauritshuis, inv.no. 1150), who drew inspiration from Caravaggio's mastery of capturing light and shadow. Notably, this motif has been replicated by other artists such as Godfried Schalcken and Johann Georg Trautmann. Although the artist of our painting remains unknown, it bears a striking resemblance to Godfried Schalcken's interpretation of Rubens' original composition (National Museum in Warsaw, MNW). Several well-known copies of Schalcken's version of the painting exist, each capturing the essence of the scene in their unique way.
The painting "Old Woman and Boy with Candles" exudes a sense of quiet anticipation and serenity. The central figures, the older woman and the young boy create a powerful contrast between youth and age, while their candles symbolize the transient nature of life and the hope they bring. The woman's contemplative expression hints at a hidden story, inviting viewers to imagine the thoughts and emotions that lie within her mind. The careful positioning of the candles and the interplay of light and shadow add depth and atmosphere to the composition, immersing the viewer in the scene.
The artist's skilful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes the stark contrast between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect of the painting. The soft glow of the candlelight illuminates the woman's weathered features, casting a gentle radiance upon her face. The warm and cool tones further enrich the visual experience, evoking a sense of harmony and balance.
