Kerstin Cardon

Kerstin Cardon (1894)

Mathilda Kristina (Kerstin) Cardon (1843–1924) was a Swedish painter and art teacher. One of the first 18 women to be admitted to the women's section of the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, she went on to produce portraits and still lifes in oils and pastels. In 1875, she began teaching at the Women's Teacher Training Seminary (Högre lärarinneseminariet) and opened her own painting school in central Stockholm. A popular high-society portrait painter, she produced three portraits of King Oscar II.[1][2][3]
