Östermalma

1915-1924

Östermalma by Ferdinand Boberg, 1915-1924

Though known for his ornate Art Nouveau architecture, Swedish architect Ferdinand Boberg takes a much simpler approach in this sketch of Östermalma manor. Created between 1915 and 1924, the piece uses loose ink lines and soft washes to capture the estate's pale yellow facade and dark roof peeking through scribbled trees. You can see his signature 'BOBERG - ÖSTERMALMA -' tucked in the corner, marking this as a personal travel memory rather than a formal blueprint. It’s a charming glimpse into how a master of grand structures appreciated the rustic, quiet beauty of the Swedish countryside.
