in a little fisherman’s house far away from all other
living beings, and here she spends some months
every winter under severe hardships, painting the
sea and mountains with or without the quaint old
fishing-boats, which still perpetuate the Viking ship

A few years ago Mrs. Boberg arranged an exhi-
bition of her works in Paris, which had a great
success, though not to be compared with the
enormous success of her pictures at the Interna-

of Mrs. Anna Boberg’s seascapes from
that fairyland, the Lofoden Islands, in
Northern Norway, of which the most universally
known and also most original artistic interpreters
are herself and the late Otto Sinding. Mrs. Boberg
is the daughter of an excellent Swedish architect,
Professor Scholander, and the wife of a still more
famous architect, Ferdinand Boberg, now well known
to readers of The Studio. She has all her life lived
in an artistic atmosphere. She began early to devote
herself to art, chiefly working on designs for tex-
tile manufactures, and drawing and modelling for
some of the porcelain and glass factories of Sweden,
but it was not until about ten years ago that she
really took up painting in oil seriously. In the
course of her travels in and around Norway
she came to Lofoden, and was immediately so
enraptured with the beauty of its scenery that she
decided to make it her life work to interpret
the grandeur of this remote part of the world and
