Herman Neujd — Portrait Of A Woman, Graphite Drawing, Late 19th–early 20th Century

Herman Neujd (1872–1931) was a Swedish artist, sculptor, ceramicist, and draftsman.
Trained in Stockholm and at the Académie Colarossi in Paris, he developed a practice at the intersection of fine arts and decorative arts.
From 1897 to 1906, he collaborated with the Gustavsberg factory alongside Gunnar G:son Wennerberg. His creations were part of the Jugendstil movement, the Nordic expression of Art Nouveau. He imbued decorative objects with a sculptural quality, combining modeling with ornamental design.
He participated in several exhibitions, notably the one in Stockholm in 1897. He also taught from 1902 to 1931 at the institution now known as Konstfack.
His works are housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. His place in the history of Swedish art is primarily due to his sculpture and ceramics; his paintings and drawings constitute a lesser-known part of his body of work.
