Provenance

From the Collection of Forrester Nils and Inga-Lill Hultmark, Torps Egendom, Västergötland.
Nils Hultmark was the son of Jägmästare David Hultmark, brother of Emil and Hultmark, who also collected Asian Ceramics and Works of Art, all members of ‘Kinaklubben’ the China Club in Stockholm in the 1920’s together with Carl Kempe (1884-1967) and the Crown Prince Gustav Adolf. The brothers are well known art collectors in Sweden and built their collections in the golden age of European collection. Nils and Inga-Lill also had a great interest in collecting art and were frequent visitors at the auction and gallery viewings in Stockholm adding well chosen items to the inherited collection.
