Sten Lindahl, Portrait Of A Woman Reading 1850s Rohde’s treatment of light hereA vibrant mid century portrait of a seated woman reading by Swedish artist, Sten Lindahl (1923 2012). It's been painted with plenty of expression and areas of impasto. She sits with her legs crossed and looks down towards her book perhaps in her favourite chair by the window. Sten Lindahl studied at Arvid Kllstrm Art School and later in Paris. He undertook many study trips to southern Europe. The painting is signed dated in the lower right. Medium:
