Private Collection, Ontario, gifted by the artist.

Note:

Gersdorff-Obolensky was a Swedish baroness and painter born in St. Petersburg, the daughter of Prince Alexis Obolensky and Princess Elisabeth Soltykoff. In 1921, she married Vice Consul Baron Nicolai von Gersdorff with whom she had a daughter, Elisaveta von Gersdorff Oxenstierna. In 1910-1918, Gersdorff-Obolensky received private lessons in painting. In the 1920s, she emigrated to Germany, where she studied at a private painting school in Dresden from 1913 to 1933. She moved to Sweden in 1945 and participated in several Swedish collective exhibitions; separately, she exhibited at the Stockholm Lyceum Club in 1950. Her art consists of flowers, portraits, interiors and landscapes.
She is buried in the Forest Cemetery in Stockholm.

The present Private Collection met the artist and her daughter in Stockholm, Sweden sometime in the 1950s
