Fiholm
1915-1924
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg, a key figure in the Art Nouveau movement, was on a lifelong quest to document the beauty of Swedish manors, and this sketch of Fiholm is a delightful result. With loose ink lines and gentle watercolor washes, he captures the red brick facade, the sturdy stone foundation, and the elegant central gable topped with a clock. The yellowing leaves peeking over the roof suggest a crisp autumn day, bringing a warm, atmospheric life to the historic building. It feels less like a rigid architectural plan and more like a fond, artistic memory of the estate.
