EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving is a portrait of the late Sir Egron Lundgren, a renowned Swedish artist who lived from 1825 to 1876. The image is derived from a photograph taken during his time in London, where he gained significant recognition and accolades. In 1853, Her Majesty Queen Victoria commissioned him for several works, which were never publicly exhibited. His artistic talent extended beyond painting as he was also a great linguist and a talented author. In 1876, the King of Sweden bestowed upon him the honor of knighthood and the Order of Gustavus Vasa. Sir Lundgren's passing will be deeply felt in Britain, where he had amassed a large circle of friends in the art world and beyond. His distinctive facial features, characterized by mutton chop sideburns, add to the intrigue and charm of this historical portrait. This engraving is a testament to Sir Lundgren's remarkable career and his enduring impact on the art scene of the 19th century.
