DescriptionDescription: This portrait of Laura Jacobina Ekstedt, aged around 20, was probably taken in Sala by the daguerreotypist Johan Adolf Sevén, Sweden’s first professional portrait photographer. He took a degree at Uppsala University in 1839 and initially made a living as a translator and portrait painter. For five years from 1841, Sevén worked as a portrait photographer, in Stockholm and around the country, as his many advertisements in the press make clear.
