Mirror and Shells, 1948, by Nisse Zetterberg. Oil on canvas, monogram signed and dated, within its original hand-carved wooden frame by the artist.
A finely observed still life from Zetterberg’s mature period, the composition is quiet and deliberate — everyday objects arranged with clarity and restraint. The handling is measured, with a soft attention to surface and light that gives the work its calm, self-contained atmosphere.
The original frame, carved by Zetterberg himself, is integral to the piece. Slightly irregular and hand-worked, it sits as an extension of the painting rather than a separate element, reinforcing the object as a whole.
Frame: 77 × 66 cm
Painting: 64 × 53 cm
About the artist
Nisse Zetterberg trained in Stockholm in the late 1920s and early 1930s, developing a precise but painterly approach that balances classical structure with a sensitivity to light and texture. His work often returns to still lifes, interiors and landscapes, rendered with quiet restraint. Zetterberg’s paintings are held in major Swedish collections, including Nationalmuseum and Moderna Museet.
