Provenance

From the Collection of Ebba-Stina Kiku Gadelius (1916-2022), thence by descent.

Ebba was the third child of Knut Gadelius, she was born in Tokyo and grew up in Japan. She herself had a career as an artist and textile designer both in the USA and France and her design and art was strongly influcenced by her early years in Japan. The black and white image shows her (girl in white coat to the left) and her siblings and nannys on a trip to the Big Buddha.
