Painting by Edvard Friström

Some years ago I bought this painting in a shop, without knowing anything about the artist. Now I know he is known as Clas Edvard Friström, or Edward Fristrom, born in Sweden 1864, but he moved abroad and became a famous painter in New Zealand.

He then moved again with his family, wife and their children, to the USA, where he died 1950, in California. My painting in watercolor is probably made in Sweden, it is a view of Kalmar Castle.
