Jakob Kulle

A charming and atmospheric 19th-century Swedish oil painting by Jakob Kulle, depicting a rustic cottage interior/exterior setting with wooden furniture, muted earthy tones and a beautifully handled play of light and shadow.

The painting is signed lower left, “J. Kulle” and is executed in oil on canvas laid on board.

Jakob Kulle was a Swedish painter known for his depictions of everyday rural life and interiors, and this intimate composition is particularly appealing for its subdued palette, expressive brushwork and sense of period atmosphere.

Presented in an impressive antique giltwood frame with richly moulded decorative ornament and shell details to the corners. The frame has a wonderful aged appearance and contributes significantly to the overall presentation.
