About the Item
This beautiful mid-20th-century oil painting by Swedish artist Sam Uhrdin (1886-1964) depicts a woman playing the guitar in a gently lit room at twilight.
Bathed in a warm radiance emanating from a cottage fireplace, she serenades the family with song. It’s a tonal masterclass rendered in bold expressive marks. A skilful representation of a quiet passing moment.
Sam Uhrdin was a master of interiors. Paying homage to the past rather than embracing the present. His exquisitely rendered scenes reminisce about a simpler time in rural Sweden. When the pace was reassuring and the love for one’s family was unquestionable. Such was his virtuosity, that he could work with feeling while retaining a high degree of finesse. He trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and his works are held in numerous public collections.
Signed in the lower left and held within a gilt frame, which is probably original.

Sam Uhrdin
Sam Uhrdin (Swedish School, 1886-1964) Sam Uhrdin was born in 1886 in the Swedish town of Siljasnas to the north-west of Stockholm. Uhrdin's talent for drawing was recognized from a young age and he was sent to study painting at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Art. Uhrdin quickly gained a reputation for painting scenes of everyday life rendered in intimate settings bathed in warm and subtle light. Uhrdin's paintings often feature women working delicately and today his work can be seen in the public museum of Leksand in Sweden.

- 19th century French, Surrender of the French at Huningen Fort to the AustriansLocated in Woodbury, CTWonderful French period copy of the famous painting by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Detaille, which the original is now in a museum in Paris. This piece came from a private collection in New Jersey where it had been since it was purchased in France back in the 1950s. The previous owner was an Art dealer in NYC during the 1950s-70s and she kept some of her favorite paintings, this being one of them. The piece was re-framed in the 1990s In 35 years of dealing in paintings, I have never seen another example of this scene, it is very rare.! History of the scene: In the Siege of Hüningen (27 November 1796 – 1 February 1797), the Austrians captured the city from the French. Hüningen is in the present-day Department of Haut-Rhin, France. Its fortress lay approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the Swiss city of Basel and .5 miles (0.80 km) north of the spot where the present-day borders of Germany, France, and Switzerland meet. During the time of this siege, the village was part of the Canton of Basel City and the fortress lay in an area contested between the German states and the First French Republic. The siege occurred within the French Revolutionary Wars during which Revolutionary France ranged...Category
