Georg Stoopendaal Christmas Sheaf With Birds by Georg StoopendaalEarly 1900s
Early 1900s
About the Item
This painting, created by the Swedish artist Georg Stoopendaal (1866–1953), captures a cherished Nordic tradition: a "julkärve" or Christmas sheaf. The sheaf, made of grain and hung outdoors, serves as a festive offering to birds during the cold winter months. This practice symbolizes generosity and respect for nature, inviting various bird species to gather and feast.
In this delightful scene, Stoopendaal depicts several recognizable birds of the Swedish winter landscape. Among them are the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula), with its bright red breast; the Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), adorned in blue and yellow; the larger Great Tit (Parus major), with its distinctive black cap; the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), a common bird with brown and gray plumage; the Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula), notable for its vibrant red belly; and the Yellowhammer (Emberiza citrinella), with its yellow head and chest.
Georg Stoopendaal was a self-taught artist, primarily known for his landscapes and still lifes. He was born in Jönköping, Sweden, and later settled in Hindås with his family. His works were widely published, including in the Ny illustrerad tidning and in the United States from 1893 to 1898. His art is represented in Sweden’s prestigious collections, such as the Nationalmuseum and the Gothenburg Museum of Art.
A prolific illustrator, Stoopendaal also illustrated several books and spent time in America, where he documented Native American cultures. His most sought-after paintings often feature working horses, reflecting his eye for detail and deep connection to rural life. He belonged to a notable family of artists—his wife, Anna, and brother Ferdinand were also painters, and Jenny Nyström, a beloved Swedish illustrator, was married to his brother Daniel.
Stoopendaal’s legacy continued through his son, Wilhelm, known as Mosse Stoopendaal, who became a renowned nature painter and was influenced by his father's work from an early age. This painting is a fine example of Stoopendaal's skill in capturing the harmony between human traditions and nature's beauty.

European Goldfinches, Taormina, By Swedish Artist Lindorm Liljefors
Located in Stockholm, SE
This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1928 to 1934, under the tutelage of Alfred Bergström and Wilhelm Smith, he honed his skills before embarking on study trips to France and Italy in 1934.
Our painting "Goldfinches, Taormina" showcases a serene natural landscape, inspired by the picturesque scenery of Taormina, it captures the essence of Taormina's natural beauty, combining it with Liljefors' unique artistic perspective. The landscape is richly detailed with lush green grass, delicate flowers, and rugged stones. The focal point is two European goldfinches...
