Albert Edelfelt - In the Nursery [1885]


Albert Edelfelt (July 21, 1854 - August 18, 1905) was a Finnish-Swedish painter. He married Baroness Ellan de la Chapelle in 1888 and they had one child. Edelfelt was selected as the main motif in a recent Finnish commemorative coin celebrating the 150th anniversary of his birth. The reverse shows an embossed face of the artist.
