A beautiful drawing with the heraldic coat of arms for the Gotland region from the 19th century.
The Gotland regional coat of arms, which was reintroduced in connection with Gotland becoming Swedish at the peace of Brömsebro in 1645, depicts a ram. The coat of arms is taken from the first known Gotland seal from 1280, and depicts a variant of the Agnus Dei motif (Latin for "Lamb of God" and refers to Christ as a sacrificial lamb in his crucifixion).
Gotland is Sweden's largest island and is known for its rich history, its unique nature and as a popular tourist destination in Sweden. Visby, which is the island's largest city, is famous for its well-preserved medieval city wall and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Gotland's history stretches back to ancient times. The island was an important trading place already during the Viking Age and has therefore also been an important economic and cultural center in Europe.
The text above the coat of arms reads: Coat of arms of Gotland. At the bottom left it says: "Sweden's National and Country Coat of Arms. Established by the Royal Majesty. After drawings by Prof. M. AD. Hildebrandt in Berlin. Published by Carl Arvid Klingspor."

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
