Hugo Frédérick Salmson (Sweden, 1843-1904)


Figure 1.--Hugo Frédérick Salmson worked in Stockholm. He is one of the greates Swedish artists, both for his skill and for his detailed depictions of Swedish like. He did not specialize with children like Larson, but children are feature in his depictions of Swedish life. Here we see "Gateway to Dalby at Skane" which he painted it in 1884. It is a wonderful depiction of how rural children dressed. Notice the boy's patched trousers and wooden shoes and the barefoot girl.
