Life

As a result, he suffered from depression that he had to be hospitalized for. From 1862 to 1865 he studied at the Stockholm Art Academy . He was represented at exhibitions at the Stockholm Academy in 1868 and 1873. With the support of his family, Engström moved to Düsseldorf in 1872 and settled there.
