One of the most renowned works by Scottish artist Sir Muirhead Bone, created using the drypoint technique. An interesting fact: the artist was the first official war artist of Great Britain, working during both the First and Second World Wars.
Bone was an avid traveler, and Stockholm was one of his greatest muses. This piece is among the many he created there. However, this particular work is truly impressive: exceptional attention to minute details, precision in every line, and incredible intricacy. Such meticulousness results in a clear and vivid image. The monochrome palette adds space for imagination, allowing viewers to envision any mood they wish.
“Stockholm” is a mirrored reflection of reality, as the piece was created on-site by the artist. The view we see is a panorama from the Södermalm district.
