Beskrivning

This beautiful antique engraving by Ulrik Thersner depicts Sturefors Castle, one of Sweden’s historic noble estates, rendered with architectural precision and surrounded by a tranquil landscape. The work was published as part of Fordna och närvarande Sverige (Ancient and Modern Sweden), a landmark visual series that documented Sweden’s castles, manors, and historical monuments during the 19th century. The engraving reflects Thersner’s careful attention to both structure and setting, combining topographical accuracy with classical composition.

Ulrik Thersner (1779–1828) was a Swedish military officer and topographical artist. He began his naval service as a child during Gustav III's Russian War and eventually rose to the rank of major in the Swedish Surveying Brigade. From 1804 onward, Thersner was engaged in hydrographic and topographical documentation across Sweden, culminating in the publication of Fordna och
närvarande Sverige, one of the most significant visual records of the nation’s historic architecture.
