About the Item

Beautifully painted in a quiet palette of blue, gray and warm skin tones, this portrait of a college student with blonde hair and fair complexion was made by Ernst Söderberg in 1920. The artist painted on canvas, and then scratched away at the surface to create a rich, textured image that gives it greater dimension and depth. Söderberg exhibited widely in the 1910s, 20s and 30s, and his work is in the collections of the Eskilstuna City Museum, Borås Art Museum, Västerås Art Museum and Moderna Museets. The painting is stretched but not framed.
