About the Item

Olof Arborelius (1842–1915) From Luntmakargatan, Stockholm oil on paper mounted on board signed with monogram “OA” unframed 24 × 30 cm (9.4 × 11.8 in) frame 35 × 41 cm (13.8 × 16.1 in) Provenance Artist’s estate Erik Thorwald Arborelius (1883–1974), the artist’s son Svensk-Franska Konstgalleriet Ingenjör Paul Toll, Stockholm Exhibitions Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Olof Arborelius Memorial Exhibition, 1943, cat. no. 159 Literature Konst i Svenska Hem, vol. I, no. 244, Paul Toll Collection, listed under Arborelius: From Luntmakargatan, Stockholm This atmospheric view of Stockholm captures a quiet winter day on Luntmakargatan, a historic street in the city center. Painted in oil, the composition reflects Olof Arborelius’s sensitivity to light and seasonal ambiance. Soft snow covers the rooftops and streets, while muted tones of grey, white and umber convey the subdued light of a northern winter. Pedestrians move along the road, and a horse-drawn sled adds a nostalgic note of daily life. Arborelius’s brushwork is both fluid and controlled, allowing for a delicate balance between detail and painterly effect. His treatment of the sky and the receding street demonstrates his ability to construct depth and atmosphere without excess. The painting exemplifies the artist’s later style, in which academic realism is tempered by a more intimate and lyrical approach to urban subjects. Though better known for his rural depictions and scenes from Dalarna, Arborelius also painted Stockholm with care and affection. This particular work shows his eye for the everyday charm of the capital, presented not through grand architecture but through quiet streets and subtle tonal harmony. The restrained palette and clear composition reflect his enduring interest in clarity, structure and mood.
