EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century portrait, painted by Johan Christoffer Boklund in 1843, depicts a farmer from Amager, a rural region in Gavleborg County, Sweden. The man wears a traditional grey-black folk costume, with wide trousers pulled together at the ankles, an unbuttoned coat, and a multicolored edging on both outer and inner coats. The buttons on his coat are white and flower-like, adding a decorative touch to the already richly colored outfit. A variegated scarf is draped around his neck, completing the holiday outfit with its embroidery and abundance of buttons. The farmer stands outside, facing away from the viewer, with a hand in his pocket and a hat in hand. His hair is neatly styled, and his posture exudes a sense of confidence and pride. In the background, a white building can be seen, with a bright blue sky stretching above it. The landscape setting adds to the rustic and rural feel of the painting. This portrait is a testament to the heritage and traditions of rural life during the 1840s. The use of oil on cardboard board and the meticulous attention to detail in the clothing and landscape make this painting a valuable piece of art and a fascinating glimpse into the past.
