More information

Carl Abraham Rothstén was son of pattern printer at Nerike regiment, Abraham Rothstén. For many years, Carl Abraham worked as a craft painter before he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and switched to an artistic career. His choice of subjects was entirely taken from the Swedish landscape, especially motifs from Stockholm and its surroundings. His most popular designs are those depicting the inlet to Stockholm, preferably with several boats.
