Oil painting

Unknown artist

The painting was originally mounted on cardboard 21.5 x 21.5 cm with attached patch (H 8.8, B 7.7 cm) with handwritten ink text: “The so-called” Tail “at Nybron, where horses used to be watered. The appearance of the east and the vestra Ågatas before the rebuilding of the walls. During the Coleratide of 1857, copper plates of this size were used as a protective agent against the danger. The plate would have its place on the magrope.” According to the gift statement, on this occasion, 20 pieces of pen drawings, sketches and views from Uppsala and omnejd and 6 pieces of hand painting postcards were given. It is not clear how many of these texts Erica himself painted, probably there may also be drawings made by her father Eric Österlund, but the starting point is that the drawings The Upplandsmuseet has in its collection and which are signed ECÖ (Erica Carolina Österlund) on this occasion. Donated 14 December 1914 from Erica Österlund, Uppsala.
