EDITORS COMMENTS
The Artist's Wife," painted by Swedish artist Karl Nordström in 1898, is a captivating oil on canvas portrait depicting Tekla Lindestrom, Nordström's wife and model. The painting showcases Tekla in profile, with her short, dark hair styled neatly against her green-hued head and shoulders. She wears a simple yet elegant dress, its black fabric contrasting dramatically against the green color that dominates the background. The dress, with its high collar and long sleeves, is reminiscent of the fashion trends of the late 19th century. Nordström expertly captures the essence of his wife, her expression thoughtful and introspective, her gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. The artist's skillful use of color and brushwork imbues the painting with a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer in and inviting them to explore the intricacies of the artwork. Born in Stockholm, Nordström was an engraver and painter, and this portrait of his wife is a testament to his mastery of the oil medium. The painting is now part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Sweden, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and enduring appeal. Tekla, dressed in her simple yet stylish attire, embodies the spirit of the artist's wife and model, a muse and collaborator in the creative process. The painting serves as a poignant reminder of the important role that the artist's family played in the artistic endeavors of the past, and continues to inspire and influence artists and art lovers alike in the present day.
