Brita Edholm, a Swedish artist of the early 20th century, captivated audiences with her vibrant oil and watercolor paintings. In this stunning portrait, Brita is seen wearing a fashionable Biba dress, marking the era of the Underground Opening and the Corset Parade. Her artistic talents extended beyond portraits, as seen in her works "Krattning" and "Brita's Forty Winks" from her A Home series, c. 1895. Brita's connection to industry is evident in her depiction of factories and the modern marvel of an Imperial Airways Armstrong Whitworth aircraft of the Argosy class. Yet, her Swedish roots remained close to her heart, as she captured the essence of Christmas in her homeland through her brushstrokes. Carl Larsson, a fellow Swedish artist, once said, "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see. " Brita's art continues to inspire and captivate, leaving a lasting impression on all who view her masterpieces.
