EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Johanna Bergman, mother of renowned Swedish painter Waldemar Bergman, in the 1860s. Johanna, born in 1839, was married to master shoemaker P.G. Bergman in Gävle, Gävleborg County, Sweden. In this painting, their son Waldemar immortalized his mother in oil on mahogany, skillfully depicting her in a simple yet elegant black dress with a centre parting and a striking hairstyle featuring a black bow at the nape of her neck. Johanna is seen leaning on her elbow, her gaze fixed away from the viewer, adding an enigmatic quality to the portrait. The painting, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Bergman family, is now a cherished piece in the collection of Gävleborg County Museum in Sweden. This historic artwork, painted in the nineteenth century, showcases the fashion trends of the time and offers a glimpse into the life of a Swedish mother and artist's model.
