About the Artist:

now considered lost

followed by several formative years in France and Italy

Here the vast horizon of Lake Vättern and the expansive sky allowed him to observe subtle changes of light

bringing a faint human narrative to the otherwise peaceful setting

Within the broader context of early twentieth century Swedish interior painting

and the dynamic human figures

The painting remained in the Kenworthy-Browne family for decades before passing into a private British collection
