From his exquisite interiors to his insightful portraits, Hillestrom's talent shines through in every brushstroke. One such masterpiece is "Ebba Brahes betrothal to Jacob de la Gardie, " a painting that transports us back to a time of grandeur and romance.

Through Hillestrom's meticulous attention to detail, we can almost hear the clinking of utensils and smell the aroma wafting from pots and pans, and is as if we have been granted access to an intimate glimpse behind closed doors. The artist's fascination with industry is evident in his depictions of places like the Copper Foundry in Falun and the Anchor Forge at Soderfors. These paintings not only showcase Hillestrom's technical skill but also serve as valuable records documenting Sweden's industrial growth during that era, equally adept at capturing moments of leisure and entertainment, as seen in "Gustavian Style Interior with a Musical Party.

Portraits were another area where Hillestrom excelled, as demonstrated by his depiction of King Gustav III alongside Ulrika Eleonora von Fersen.

Count Gustaf Mauritz Armfelt comes alive under Hillestrom's brush, his portrait exuding a sense of charisma and intrigue.
