A founder of the Artists' Association of New Orleans, Bror Anders Wikstrom was a Swedish
artist who was at the forefront of the New Orleans art scene in the late 19th century.
Wikstrom’s offering, "Florida Marsh,” depicts grand cypress trees growing in a shaded
swamp. Sunlight subtly permeates the back of the scene creating beautiful nuances in
shading. Wikstrom’s delicate use of light and easy brush strokes make the piece come
to life in quite an inspiring way. The painting will be offered in the June Fine Sale at an
estimate of $4,000-6,000.
