Artist: Bruno Liljefors (1860–1939)
Swedish painter
Title: Sledging
Object type: Painting
Description: Winter scenes are central to Bruno Liljefors’ imagery. Snow-covered landscapes with birds, foxes or lone hunters recur in many variations throughout his oeuvre. His poi-gnant studies of the changing seasons had a very specific objective – to portray with great realism the interplay between animals and their natural habitats. A more unusual subject in Liljefors’ production is the painting Sledging from 1882. Here, instead of wild animals, children are playing in the snowy setting.
