EDITORS COMMENTS
Per Hillestrom's Gustavian Style Interior with Cardplayers, painted in 1779, is a captivating oil on canvas work that invites us into the elegant world of 18th century Scandinavian leisure. The painting depicts a group of men and women engaged in a lively card game, their colorful clothing and intricate costumes adding a vibrant touch to the muted tones of the interior. The setting is a refined Gustavian style room, with simple yet elegant furnishings and a soft, natural light filtering in through the windows. The male card players, dressed in fashionable 18th century attire, are seated around a table, their serious expressions betraying their intense focus on the game. The women, dressed in elegant gowns and fashionable caps, observe the game with amusement, their dresses cascading gracefully around them. The rich colors and textures of the clothing, from the deep reds and greens of the men's coats to the delicate pastels of the women's dresses, add a sense of opulence to the scene. This painting, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the artistic heritage of Scandinavia during the 18th century. The concept of the card game as a pastime for the upper classes is a common theme in European art of the time, and Hillestrom's interpretation is both charming and intriguing. The painting invites us to step back in time and experience the elegance and sophistication of the past.
