Smugglers on the West Coast by Josef Wilhelm Wallander in 1855.
It is night on Sweden's west coast in the middle of the 19th century and the full moon is high in the dark and cloudy sky. Ten men smuggle barrels of unknown contents up from their rowing boats. Further out to sea is their ship from which they rowed in.
The painting was included in Images from Swedish folk life with text by JA Berg:
"It is a terrible sight to see, on a cold, dark autumn or winter night, the figures of smugglers struggling against the surging waves. Every year they bend almost under the edge of the boat, and you still hear the sizzling of the water, the panting of the oarsmen, forced by the violent effort. - Night's peace seems to reign undisturbed, but if you listen closely, - the terrible panting, the muttered oaths, the hoarse scornful grin testify, however, that there is neither peace in nature nor in the human heart..."

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.
If you order from Norway, your order will be delivered with Fedex, to Sweden and other parts of the world with DHL. Your package is normally delivered to your nearest agent!
