This 1943 oil painting captures a serene winter or early spring scene in Djurgården, Stockholm, during the midst of World War II. Despite the global turmoil of the time, the painting conveys a sense of calm and quiet reflection. Soft pastel tones and delicate brushwork depict a partially frozen shoreline, bare trees, and traditional red Swedish houses nestled in the landscape. The choice of Djurgården, a peaceful, nature-rich area in central Stockholm, emphasizes tranquility and retreat. The yellow wooden frame, though repainted and worn, complements the vintage feel of the artwork, reinforcing its nostalgic and timeless atmosphere.
