Graveyard Scene 1890

Gottfrid Kallstenius's 1890 painting "Graveyard Scene" depicts a young woman tending to a grave in a cemetery. The somber scene is softened by the lush greenery and the vibrant pink blooms of a flowering bush. The woman's gentle touch and the peaceful atmosphere evoke a sense of quiet remembrance and the enduring power of nature. The painting is a fine example of Kallstenius's skill in capturing the details of everyday life and imbuing them with emotional resonance. The work is part of the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst.
