White Water Lilies in a Pond, signed and dated E. Jolin 1902, is a charming and intimate depiction of a quiet summer moment by the Swedish female artist Ellen Jolin (1854-1939). Possibly, the depiction is from Étang de Saint-Cucufa, within the forest of Malmaison. In the foreground a small, partly visible wooden jetty extends gently into the still water. Beside it, clusters of white water lilies float calmly on the surface of the pond, their delicate blossoms reflected in the quiet water. The restrained composition and soft handling of light convey a sense of tranquility and contemplative stillness. Executed on a modest scale, the painting demonstrates Ellen Jolin’s sensitivity to everyday natural motifs and her ability to capture atmosphere through subtle tonal variation and careful observation. Maria Helena “Ellen” Jolin was born in Stockholm in 1854 into a culturally active Swedish family. Her father, Johan Jolin, was a noted actor and playwright, and the artistic atmosphere of the household encouraged her early interest in drawing and painting. She belonged to an extended artistic milieu and was later the aunt of the well-known Swedish modernist painter Einar Jolin...

This evocative landscape by Axel Edvard Peter captures the serene beauty of nature with remarkable skill. Painted in 1918, the scene depicts a wooden rowboat resting in still waters beneath the sheltering branches of a lush tree. The dappled sunlight filtering through the foliage creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, while the artist’s use of short, expressive brushstrokes imbues the composition with a vibrant, almost impressionistic quality. The rich greens and golden hues of the landscape reflect Peter’s mastery of color and atmosphere. Axel Peter was a Swedish painter known for his distinctive artistic voice, shaped by his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and further training in Paris and Germany. He was part of the influential Opponents’ Movement (Opponentrörelsen) of 1885, alongside artists such as Richard Bergh, Nils Kreuger, and Eugène Jansson...
