About the Item
This beautiful painting by female artist, Ingeborg Westfelt-Eggertz (1855-1936), depicts the sunset outside Smögen on the Swedish west coast looking towards the very beautiful island and nature reserve of Hållö and its lighthouse. The sun is setting just behind the island. It is signed "I. Westfelt-Eggertz" and indistinctly dated, possibly 1893 or 1903. Oil on canvas laid on card box paper.
Westfelt-Eggertz grew up in Stockholm and went to study at the Technical School in Stockholm and then the Royal Fine Arts Academy between the years 1873–1880. After her studies in Stockholm, she went to study in Paris with Raphaël Collin and Gustave Courtois. Meanwhile in Paris, after a few years, in 1887, she opened her own school for the young ladies of the nobility and stock market aristocracy and contributed with drawings for the Delagrave publishing company. She returned to Stockholm in 1890 where, together with female artist Elisabeth Keyser, she established a painting school for female students. In 1893 she married editor August Emil Eggertz and for a few years she lived with him in Visby (main city on the island of Gotland, Swedens largest island) between 1893–1897, then Landskrona in south of Sweden and finally, from 1903, in Gothenburg which is on the west coast. In all these places, she ran painting schools for women, and alongside she made her own creations.
Eggertz-Westfelt received several awards, such as gold medal in oil painting at Arcachon in 1888, silver medal at Versailles in 1889 and Mention honorable at Evreux. Eggertz-Westfelt is represented at the Gothenburg Art Museum, Halland Art Museum, Bohuslän Museum in Uddevalla and the National Museum in Stockholm.
Smögen is beautiful place, a small island with a village on the Swedish west coast a couple of hours drive north of Gothenburg. It is one of the liveliest "summer towns" of the Swedish west coast. The are is also famous for its great seafood.
The community actually straddled several islands that lay so close together that the space in between has since been filled, and is now considered as a single island. The southern part consists mostly of Smögen Island, which lies in the centre. Around this lies to the south Kleven, in the northwest Sandön, and in the northeast, Hasselön. The town is connected to the neighboring town Kungshamn by the Smögen Bridge.
Hållö island, depicted in this painting, lays just outside Smögen. On the island stands Hållö lighthouse, which is one of the oldest on the west coast, built in 1842, and the one depicted in this painting.
Hållö is a famous destination for its nature, and clear turquoise water and especially for the different rock creations with some forming large pools to which many come and use for swimming in the summertime.
Measurements for the painting is without the frame. With frame the size is 56x36cm.
