Provenance

From the Collection of Herman Lindell (1851-1926), thence by descent. Helmer Lindell founded the company OY Herman Lindell AB on the Esplanaden in Helsinki in 1890 and the company sold office and artist materials, which meant that there were close contacts with artists. Herman Lindell had a large art and works of art collection with works by, among others by famous Scandinavian artists such as Axel Gallen Kallela, Carl Larsson, Helene Schjerfbeck, Jarnefalt and Albert Edelfelt.
