Evert Färhm (1901-1971) was a respected and acclaimed Swedish Postwar & Contemporary artist celebrated for his evocative and atmospheric creations. His 1955 portrait of an Old Man is particularly notable for its depth and emotionality. The painting, characterized by oversized hands, a richly textured surface, and a palette of earthy colours, induces a reflective mood.

Born in Onslunda, Sweden, Färhm attended the Althin Painting School in Stockholm from 1921 to 1923, followed by studies at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1924 to 1928, where he received the Ducal Medal in 1927. In the 1930s, he exhibited with the Group of Four, the Skåne Art Society, and the Helsingborg Art Association. His works are featured in the National Museum, as well as the museums of Helsingborg and Prince Eugene's Waldemarsudde.

Färhm's art has graced prominent galleries and museums, including the Outré Gallery in Melbourne. Despite his passing in 1971, his legacy endures through his mesmerizing paintings.
