Eric Reuterborg painted faces the way people remember them, not the stiff portraits in gilt frames, but the way a smirk lingers or a collar sits crooked. His brush tracked the wear of everyday life, especially around the ironworks and manor houses of mid-1800s Sweden. The face that sticks isn’t a king’s: it’s Georg Camitz, a mill owner whose slight squint and rumpled collar tell you he’s just walked in from a damp yard. Swipe to meet him at the Swedish portrait tradition’s unpolished edge.
