More information
After the First World War, Anna Boberg fell ill with tuberculosis. Her and her husband Ferdinand Boberg's lives changed, and they left their villa on Djurgården. They began to spend large parts of the year abroad. In the autumn of 1923, they were back in Stockholm, and Anna Boberg exhibited at Liljevalchs konsthall alongside Olle Hjortzberg, Rikard Lindström, Gösta Nordblad, Bertil Norén, Georg Pauli, and Jurgen Wrangel. She showcased an entirely new side of her artistry, featuring motifs from their travels to, among other places, Italy and Egypt. The painting "Low Water in the Nile" was included in the exhibition and is depicted in the catalogue with the number 21.
