The varying titles that accompanied the work highlight a problem regarding Carl Fredrik Hill's art. Usually, the artist seldom gave his own "official" title to his landscape paintings.
However, based on many years of work, new research now suggests that the catalogue number is to be regarded as the fifth motif (out of a total of six) in the famous suite "The Tree and the River Bend" from Brolles / Bois-le-Roi. The four motifs which, according to this reasoning, would have preceded the present catalogue number are;
— A painting (sketch) in the collections of Prince Eugene’s Waldemarsudde in Stockholm ("Landscape at Bois-le-Roi", oil on canvas, 21.5 x 27 cm, W 283, purchase by Prins Eugen 1925)
— A painting in the collections at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm ("The tree and the river bend III [Bois-le-Roi]", oil on canvas, 50 x 60 cm, NM 1863, gift 1915 by art lovers through Richard Bergh).
— The large version, which, after being inherited within the artist's family, was sold for the world record auction price of SEK 15,125,000 at Bukowskis in December 2019 ("The tree and the river bend", oil on canvas, 80.5 x 99.5 cm, Åmells Konsthandel, Stockholm)
— A painting in the Gothenburg Art Museum collections ("French river landscape, Bois-le-Roi", oil on canvas, 54 x 73 cm, GKM 0522, purchased in 1915).
The remaining sixth version would then be a painting in the collections at Sven-Harry's Art Museum, Stockholm ("Trädet och flodkröken II", oil on canvas, 65 x 100 cm, previously in Professor Gustaf Petrén's collections, Lund, later purchased via Sotheby's, 1991, transferred from Folkhem Art Collection), which, probably, was executed after the present catalogue number.
