Verdict of guilty PHM Nr. 31

English Swedish

Oil painting on panel, motif with a hurt man, signed "Gustavus Cederström", 52x70 cm. Painted on paper, applied to the board. Signed in the right bottom corner. Around the signature are some scratches. Illumination with ultraviolet light showed no changes in the painting. As the area around the signature was examined by microscope discovered the remains of another signature, which was in the color layer below Cederströms. This is a hasty sketch of a historical painting. It is not done with Cederströms skill but seems to be made by an artist. It's a romantic mood picture made in the 1890s. Cederstrom painted realistic and should not therefore be creator of the painting. The figures in the painting is too "loose" so constructed as to be Gustaf Cederströms. District Court assessment: painting original signature has been removed and then re-signed by Gustav Cederströms name. The painting has since become a forgery and shall be forfeited..

Gustaf Olof Cederström föddes i Stockholm den 12 april 1845 som son till friherren och löjtnanten Carl Emanuel Cederström och friherrinnan Carolina Fredrika Theresia af Ugglas.
Nitton år gammal (1864) gick Cederström in som underlöjtnant vid Värmlands fältjägarkår. Sex år senare (1870) tog han dock avsked därifrån för att helt kunna ägna sig åt måleriet. Han studerade först i Düsseldorf där hans handledare hette Fagerlin, och sedan i Paris under den franske målaren Léon Bonnat (1833-1922). Trettiotre år gammal (1878) blev han ledamot av konstakademin och samma år gifte han sig med Amalia Katarina (Amy) Jaeder. 1887 blev han professor i figurteckning. En av hans bästa skapelser anses vara Karl XII:s likfärd (se bild). Tavlan ställde han ut på vårsalongen i Paris, och för dåtidens konstnärer var det en stor heder att överhuvudtaget bli antagen till salongen. Där vann han även en medalj för tavlan. Cederström dog den 12 april 1845 i Stockholm, 88 år gammal.
