About the Item
We are offering a painting for sale by the Swedish artist Nils Andersson (1817–1865). This beautiful landscape showcases Andersson’s characteristic style of capturing Swedish nature in serene, idyllic scenes. Born in Kättilstads socken in Östergötland, Andersson initially pursued historical painting before transitioning to genre and landscape art, often featuring rural life and pastoral settings. His paintings frequently include peaceful natural vistas and depictions of livestock, as seen in this work.
The painting displays a tranquil countryside scene with two cows resting by the water, one standing by the shoreline while the other rests on the ground. In the background, a forested landscape stretches toward the horizon under a sky dotted with soft clouds. Two figures dressed in traditional attire engage in conversation by a wooden fence, adding a human element to the rural setting.
Nils Andersson’s journey from a humble farming background to becoming a prominent painter is reflected in the intimate and authentic depictions of rural Swedish life in his art. After studying at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts and spending time in Paris from 1854 to 1856, he became a professor at the Academy. His works are celebrated and included in collections at Nationalmuseum, Göteborgs konstmuseum, and Norrköpings Konstmuseum.
This painting is a fine example of his genre and landscape works, rich in detail and atmosphere, bringing a moment of peaceful country life into focus.

Feeding a Calf Lovely Farm Scene with Redhead Girl mid 19th Century Oil Painting
Located in Stockholm, SE
As we gaze upon this artwork, we are immediately struck by the warmth and tenderness exuding from the scene. The woman, with a gentle smile on her face, carefully feeds the pet calf, while the redhead girl, her eyes sparkling with excitement, reaches out to touch the adorable creature. The artist's attention to detail is impeccable, with each brushstroke conveying a sense of life and movement to the painting. Nevertheless, the beauty of this painting lies not only in its technical prowess but also in the emotions it evokes. Visual research gets us to authorship of Walter Goodall (1830 - 1889) an British painter. But since the painting is not signed apparently – it is hard to state for sure.
