Swedish Folk Art 'Dalamalning'

Swedish 19th Century fold art painting of Christ preaching in simplified neo-classical surroundings, to a segregated congregation... and two dogs!

This central motif is surrounded by typical panels of urns and foliate decorations. Possibly painted by Torrångs Olof Samuelsson, (1794-1864) on a farm named Ovanmyra, north of Rättvik in Dalarna.

Of Swedish origin, circa 1826.
