About the Item
"The Girl with Blue Necklace" is an enchanting portrait of a young girl, depicted by the Swedish artist Emma Ekwall. She was sister of the famous artist Knut and Hugo and Gustaf Ekwall.
She studied at The Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts between 1865 and 1870 and earned fame as the first woman to receive the royal medal in 1871. Her artistic journey included time spent in Munich and Leipzig, enriching her skills and perspective. Ekwall's oeuvre encompasses portraits, floral still lifes, and genre paintings, with a special fondness for portraying children, where her talent shone brightest.
The portrait in question features a young girl in a red cap, her gaze captivating with innocence and a gentle serenity. The blue necklace, possibly reminiscent of lapis lazuli, but more likely of a simpler origin, likely colored bone or wooden beads, aligning with the subject's peasant roots.
Emma Ekwall's work is celebrated in prestigious collections, including the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Norrköping's Art Museum, and the Kalmar Art Museum.

- St Paul With Sword and Book, Mannerist School, Oil on CopperLocated in Stockholm, SEMannerism, derived from the Italian term "maneria," which simply means "style," was an artistic movement that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance, around 1520, and extended into the early 17th century. It is often referred to as the "stylish style" due to its emphasis on self-conscious artifice rather than realistic depiction. Historians debate whether Mannerism should be classified as a style, a movement, or a period.

Among the notable Mannerist painters are Jacopo da Pontormo, Bronzino, Lavinia Fontana...Category
