Henriette Sjöberg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henrietta (Henriette) Wilhelmina Sofia Sjöberg (6 April 1842, Linköping — 6 February 1915, Stockholm) was a Swedish painter, illustrator and art teacher. She is remembered for contributing some 200 meticulously crafted watercolours of Swedish cultivated plants to the Sveriges Kulturväxter project. After the project was abandoned in 1896, she produced botanical wall plates for schools and contributed illustrations to the Swedish Horticultural Association's two-volume work on Swedish fruits. From 1901, Sjöberg spent the rest of her life as a drawing and painting instructor at the Royal Swedish Academy of Agriculture and Forestry. Many of her works can be seen in Sweden's Nordic Museum.[1][2][3]
