Arnö by Ferdinand Boberg, 1915-1924

Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg traded his grand city blueprints for a quiet countryside sketch in this charming view of Arnö island. The tall wooden building, complete with an open-air bell tower, looks like a humble village church or schoolhouse taking a nap under a massive, leafy tree. Created during his later years, this piece shows Boberg's softer side, using loose ink lines and gentle watercolor washes to capture a peaceful, pastoral moment that feels like a snapshot from a summer holiday.
