DescriptionDescription: Bohuslän was to Carl Wilhelmson what Bretagne was to Paul Gauguin. Old fishing villages and their people were his subject matter, and the scenes in his paintings are usually set in summer. Wilhelmson’s paintings are characterised by a dry, unvarnished surface that gives them the appearance of having been exposed to the sun and salt winds of the archipelago, as in this portrait of the painter Agnes Cleve, who also worked in Bohuslän during a crucial part of her artistic career.
