During this time (1849–1852) he created his first important oil painting under the title Market in Vingåker . From 1853 to 1862 he stayed  in Düsseldorf - with interruptions through study trips to Paris and Italy . He took private lessons with the painter Rudolf Jordan , of him in his interest in folklore - folklore promoted genre painting.
