About the Item
This luminous oil painting by William Gislander captures a tranquil evening scene in the coastal wetlands of Falsterbo, southern Sweden. A group of geese gathers at the edge of a meandering stream as the sun sets over the horizon. The wide marshland is rendered with exceptional sensitivity: shimmering pools of water reflect the pastel tones of the sky, and the lush, damp terrain is painted with finely observed detail. The atmosphere is still, contemplative – a quiet moment suspended in time.
William Gislander was known for his deep fascination with birdlife, and geese, in particular, became a central theme in his work. During his years living in Falsterbo, he immersed himself in the coastal landscape, painting the marshes, estuaries, and bird colonies that define the southern tip of Sweden. His works are distinguished by a harmonious blend of naturalistic precision and poetic mood. Here, the composition is both grounded in the specific ecology of the region and elevated by the painter’s sense of light, space, and serenity.
The artist’s skill in capturing the character of the marshes – their unique texture, palette, and atmosphere – is masterfully displayed in this 1918 canvas. The soft glow of dusk, the gentle movement of water, and the alert posture of the geese all contribute to the immersive quality of the scene. Gislander’s style, often described as both lyrical and observational, reveals his profound connection to the natural world.
This painting can be compared to Gislander’s larger panoramic work Sträckande gäss – motiv från Falsterbo, also painted in 1918 and sold at Uppsala Auktionskammare in 2019. Both paintings reflect the artist’s enduring preoccupation with the shifting skies, open horizons, and seasonal rhythms of life in the Falsterbo marshlands. They also underscore his ability to convey a deeply felt sense of place through the lens of its avian inhabitants.
Gislander is today regarded as one of the leading Swedish painters of birdlife in the early 20th century. His works are held in several museum collections, including Kristianstad Museum. As a representative of a uniquely Nordic landscape tradition, he brought together ecological awareness and artistic expression with great refinement.
Geese in the Marshland, Falsterbo is not only a superb example of Gislander’s mature style, but also a historically resonant depiction of a now-rare wetland habitat. It offers collectors and admirers of Scandinavian art a richly atmospheric work that embodies the beauty, stillness, and wild vitality of the Skåne coast.

Provenance: Cotman family collection
Frederick George Cotman was born in Ipswich on 14 August 1850. His uncle, John Sell Cotman, was one of the cornerstones of the Norwich school and a very influential watercolourist. Frederick's first tuition came from William Griffiths, headmaster of Ipswich School of Art. In 1868 he enlisted at the Royal Academy Schools and his proficiency as a draughtsman and painter in oils and watercolours was rewarded with four silver and a gold medal for The Death of Eucles now at the Ipswich Town Hall. His teachers in London were Frederick Leighton (1830-1896) and Henry Tanworth Wells (1828-1903). Cotman became established as a London society portrait painter, for which he could command a fee of 300 guineas and also produced homely genre scenes.

Kleiber 134
Hans Kleiber (1887-1967)
Hans Norbert Kleiber, painter, etcher, illustrator, and naturalist, was born in Cologne, Germany on August 24, 1887. He emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1900, settling in Massachusetts before moving to Wyoming. Kleiber first worked in lumber camps before working for the United States Forest Service from 1906 until 1924. One of his duties as a ranger was to monitor the logging camps in the Bighorn Mountains.
Kleiber was primarily self-taught as an artist and it was in the 1920s that he began devoting himself to art. It appears that he first began to work in watercolor and oil but was producing etchings and drypoints as early as 1924. He traversed the mountains of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, and his subjects are drawn from the pristine landscapes and wildlife.
Kleiber's first exhibition of his etchings was mounted in 1928 at Goodspeed's Book Shop in Boston. His etching, Crossing the Platte, was included in the 1939 New York World's Fair exhibition, American Art Today. There was an exhibition of fifty of his etchings at the National Museum in 1944, and an exhibition of his watercolors was mounted at the Grand Central Galleries in New York in 1950. Kleiber was a member of the Society of American Etchers and the California Society of Printmakers. He received a silver medal in 1931 from the Printmakers Society of California for his print, Leaving the High Country...
