Description

This exquisite early 20th-century etching by Swedish artist Axel Wallert (1890-1962) depicts a seated woman playing the mandolin. It’s brimming with style yet captured with sensitivity.

Given the relative level of intimacy, it’s plausible that the subject is Wallert’s first wife Sigrid Roos who was also an artist. He married Sigrid just four years earlier - in 1914.

It’s also interesting to note that in 1884, Anders Zorn produced a fine painting of a young lady playing the mandolin, so perhaps it served as inspiration.

The Nationalmuseum in Stockholm holds another copy of this etching.

Signed/dated in the lower right.

FAQs

An etching is a printmaking technique where lines are incised into a metal plate with acid, which holds ink to be transferred onto paper under pressure.

Traditional etchings utilise acid-free or rag paper and specialised printing inks, housed within wooden frames often featuring glass protection.

Authentic antique etchings typically exhibit plate marks, paper ageing characteristics, and ink texture that sits slightly raised on the paper surface.

Antique prints add depth and character to modern walls, pairing well with minimalist frames or traditional groupings to create a curated gallery effect.

Preservation requires mounting away from direct sunlight using UV-protective glass, maintaining stable humidity levels, and avoiding damp environments.
