Description
August Jernberg,
Swedish 1826-1896-
The Conversation;
oil on canvas, signed 'A Jernberg' (lower left), 66 x 54.9 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
Jernberg studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and later under Thomas Couture (1815-1879) in Paris, before moving to Germany, where he became a member of the Düsseldorf school of painting. The present work is a typical example of Jernberg's closely-observed genre scenes which are evidently informed by the interior scenes pioneered in the 17th-century Netherlands. Similar works by Jernberg include paintings which sold at Stockholms Auktionsverk on 13 June 2012, lot 1700 (£1,635 hammer), and on 29 May 2008, lot 2224 (£4,248 hammer),
