About the Item
This small watercolor painting by Anna Palm de Rosa, titled "Coach and horses at full speed, Boulogne-sur-Seine," is a vibrant and dynamic piece that captures a moment of speed and elegance from the past. The scene is set in what was known then as Boulogne-sur-Seine, now Boulogne-Billancourt, prior to its name change in 1926.
The artwork is only like a postcard and depicts a horse-drawn carriage in full gallop, stirring up a cloud of dust along the gravel path. This sense of motion is further emphasized by one of the ladies on the carriage, who is seen clutching her hat, a detail that adds a personal touch to the scene and underscores the speed at which they are traveling. The artist's ability to capture such a fleeting moment, with the horses' hooves barely touching the ground and the dust cloud swirling around, is a testament to her skill and the liveliness of her compositions.
Anna Sofia Palm de Rosa (1859–1924) was a celebrated Swedish artist known for her watercolors, particularly of marine scenes, Stockholm vistas, and moments of everyday life. Educated by her father, Gustaf Wilhelm Palm, and other prominent artists of the time, Palm de Rosa's artistry was nurtured in a milieu rich with cultural and artistic influences. Her works, characterized by their meticulous detail and vibrant colors, earned her widespread acclaim in Sweden during the 1890s.
Despite her success, Palm de Rosa left Sweden in 1895, eventually settling in Italy after her marriage to Infantry Lieutenant Alfredo de Rosa in 1901. It was during this period that she expanded her repertoire to include scenes from Italian life and continued to produce landscapes of Stockholm, often based on photographs sent from Sweden. The "Coach and horses at full speed, Boulogne-sur-Seine" predates her marriage, as indicated by the absence of 'de Rosa' in her signature, placing its creation in the late 19th century, a time when her artistic output was prolific and highly sought after.
This piece not only offers a glimpse into the bustling life of late 19th-century France but also showcases Palm de Rosa's exceptional talent in capturing the essence of a moment. Its historical and artistic value is further enhanced by the artist's own fascinating life story, from her early years in Stockholm's artistic circles to her final days in Italy.

- Quiet Contemplation: Rural Serenity in Hagborg's WatercolorBy August HagborgLocated in Stockholm, SEThe artwork we present is a rare watercolor by the distinguished Swedish artist August Hagborg, painted in the later part of his career between 1910 and 1920. This watercolour is a departure from Hagborg's often-seen beach scenes with mussel pickers and instead offers a glimpse into a serene, pastoral moment. The scene is set against a timber house, with a man and a woman standing alongside, their gazes directed away from the viewer, which invites contemplation about the story behind their distant stares. Watercolors by Hagborg are rare, making this piece particularly special. Its fine details suggest a mastery of the medium, likely honed over the years of his extensive career. A written letter from Göteborgs Konstmuseum, dated to the 1940s, suggests a later date for this piece. August Hagborg, born on May 26, 1852, in Gothenburg and passed away on April 30, 1921, in Paris, was a renowned figure in the art world. His education at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1871 to 1874 placed him among peers who would rise to prominence, such as Carl Larsson and Anders Zorn. Moving to Paris in the fall of 1875, Hagborg initially painted within the costume genre before finding his niche in coastal landscapes that garnered him accolades and recognition. Hagborg's success was punctuated by his 1879 painting...Category
