Anna Gardell-Ericson

Anna Maria Gardell-Ericson (10 October 1853, Visby – 2 June 1939, Stockholm)[2] was a Swedish painter and watercolorist.

At the age of sixteen, she began painting and displayed sufficient talent for her to be sent to Switzerland to begin her studies.

In 1879, she went to Paris to continue her studies with Alexandre-Louis Leloir and Ferdinand Heilbuth and copied the watercolors of Camille Corot.

She had a major showing at the Salon in 1882 and, as a result, received a contract worth 1,000 Francs per month from the art dealers, Goupil & Cie. That same year, she married Johan Ericson, a landscape painter from Karlshamn.

Gardell-Ericson exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.
