About the Item
This beautiful mid-20th-century oil painting by Swedish artist Sam Uhrdin (1886-1964) depicts a woman playing the guitar in a gently lit room at twilight.
Bathed in a warm radiance emanating from a cottage fireplace, she serenades the family with song. It’s a tonal masterclass rendered in bold expressive marks. A skilful representation of a quiet passing moment.
Sam Uhrdin was a master of interiors. Paying homage to the past rather than embracing the present. His exquisitely rendered scenes reminisce about a simpler time in rural Sweden. When the pace was reassuring and the love for one’s family was unquestionable. Such was his virtuosity, that he could work with feeling while retaining a high degree of finesse. He trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and his works are held in numerous public collections.
Signed in the lower left and held within a gilt frame, which is probably original.

Sam Uhrdin
Sam Uhrdin (Swedish School, 1886-1964) Sam Uhrdin was born in 1886 in the Swedish town of Siljasnas to the north-west of Stockholm. Uhrdin's talent for drawing was recognized from a young age and he was sent to study painting at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Art. Uhrdin quickly gained a reputation for painting scenes of everyday life rendered in intimate settings bathed in warm and subtle light. Uhrdin's paintings often feature women working delicately and today his work can be seen in the public museum of Leksand in Sweden.

View AllEarly 19th-Century Central European School, Christ The Saviour
Located in Cheltenham, GB
This early 19th-century central European oil painting depicts Christ The Saviour standing atop an orb and carrying a cross over his left shoulder.
An unusual composition, Christ’s rather striking posture is perhaps more ‘Saturday Night Fever’ than it is sacramental. However, the iconography is archaic and derived ultimately from New Testament illustrations dating to the Middle Ages. Depictions of orbs are usually symbolic of the universe, while the cross alludes to redemption. Hence, it’s a visual representation of Christ as the Saviour of humanity.
