Per Fjellström

Per Fjellström is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Per Fjellström painted portraits of 18th-century Swedish civilians like Herr Dristel—serious-faced men in dark coats with lace cuffs. His brushwork stays crisp, the setting quiet, no drama—just a plain room, a plain chair, a plain man. This was everyday life on canvas, not kings or gods. Tap Herr Dristel to stand closer and watch the flicker of candlelight on his cuffs.
