life and work

After finishing school, Södergren studied art in the women's department ( Fruntimmers-Afdelningen ) of the Kungliga Konsthögskolan in Stockholm from 1864 . Along with Mimmi Zetterström , Christine Sundberg , Anna Nordgren , Amanda Sidwall and Anna Nordlander, she was one of the first women to study at the art college. In the autumn of 1874 she traveled to Paris with Sidwall, Nordlander and Nordgren to continue her studies. There the Swedes attended the women's class at the Académie Julian , where Jules Lefebvre and Tony Robert-Fleury were among their teachers. Södergren was part of a group of artists in Paris, which also included Swedish painters Alfred Wahlberg , Hugo Salmson , Carl Skånberg and Olof Hermelin . In 1876 she worked for some time in the Paris studio of the painter Severin Nilsson . In the late 1870s, Södergren stayed in Rome to study and later returned to Stockholm.

Södergren has repeatedly exhibited her work in exhibitions in Sweden and France. In 1878 she showed landscape paintings at the Paris World Exhibition which she had painted in Dieppe on the Normandy coast . In her mostly small-format paintings, Södergren created not only such landscapes, but also genre motifs and flower still lifes. A number of her works are in the collection of the National Museum in Stockholm.
