EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Consul Adelaide Rettig, 1891," was painted by Swedish artist Hildegard Norberg during the late 19th century. Adelaide Ulrika Corinna Rettig, the subject of the painting, is depicted in formal attire, seated confidently in a high-backed chair. Her dark, floor-length dress, adorned with intricate patterns and a fitted bodice, is paired with a matching coat and a simple, high-collared blouse. A black brooch, likely a family heirloom, adds a touch of elegance to her outfit. The direct gaze of Adelaide, as she looks straight at the camera, exudes a sense of strength and authority. Her dark hat, perched atop her head, casts a subtle shadow over her face, adding depth and mystery to the portrait. The background is sparsely furnished, with a simple table and a single piece of furniture, perhaps a writing desk, suggesting the presence of a study or office. The oil painting, created with meticulous attention to detail, captures the essence of the 1890s fashion and the historic significance of the subject. Adelaide Rettig was a consul, a position of great responsibility and prestige, and her strong, determined expression reflects her role as a leader in Gävleborg County, Sweden. This painting, now housed in the Gävleborg County Museum, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of Sweden during the 19th century. The use of oil on canvas by Hildegard Norberg adds to the painting's authenticity and timeless beauty, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic art.
