About the piece

Created by Per Wilhelm Cedergren in 1855, this oil painting captures the paddle steamer Norrland in a moment of calm transit. The work beautifully juxtaposes the emerging steam technology of the era with a traditional harbor setting, all bathed in the soft, atmospheric light of a late afternoon sky.
