Shop 18 artworks by August Hagborg (Swedish, 1852–1921) — every piece is public domain and can be printed as canvas, rolled canvas, framed canvas or a framed print.

Vilhelm Nikolaus August Hagborg was a Swedish painter who spent the greater part of his professional life in France. He is most celebrated for his naturalistic depictions of the fishermen, oyster pickers, and coastal dwellers of Normandy and Brittany, and for his elegant genre scenes set in the French 18th century. A regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon for over three decades, Hagborg represented Sweden at several international exhibitions and became a respected member of the Scandinavian expatriate artistic community in Paris. His work bridges Swedish academic tradition and French naturalism, earning him honours such as the purchase of a painting by the Luxembourg Museum and royal patronage from King Oscar II.
