Gripsholm
1915-1924
Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg traded his grand city blueprints for a quiet pencil sketch of this rustic, steep-roofed building, likely drawn on the grounds of the historic Gripsholm Castle between 1915 and 1924. With its charming round attic window and shuttered facade sitting behind a low stone wall, the structure showcases Boberg's keen eye for architectural detail even in simple rural scenes. Though best known for his lavish Art Nouveau buildings in Stockholm, these intimate drawings reveal his deep appreciation for Sweden's traditional, humble architecture.
