Life
The daughter of the Finnish-Swedish painter Berndt Lindholm and his wife Karolina, née Bohle, was born in France during their parents' second stay in Paris - after their brother Ragnar - and baptized by a Norwegian clergyman. The painter Albert Edelfelt , who is currently working in Paris and is friends with her parents, became her godfather. The family returned to Sweden that same year . Sigrid Lindholm studied at the University of Design and Crafts in Gothenburg and in 1892 under Carl Larsson at the Valand Art School attached to the Gothenburg Museum , where her father taught. Then she switched to the Technical School (Tekniska Skolan) in Stockholm and finally worked under Otto Eckmann at the Gewerbemuseum in Berlin.
Sigrid Lindholm died at the age of 39. She left behind still lifes, portraits, interiors and landscape compositions, but rarely showed her work in public. An exception was an exhibition in the Liljevalch Kunsthalle ( Liljevalchs konsthall ) in Stockholm. A commemorative exhibition was held in 1948 at the Lorensberg Art Salon ( Lorensbergs konstsalong ) in Gothenburg.
