Theodor Kittelsen: career timeline

Norwegian · 1857–1914 · Works grouped by the decade they were made (the cataloged date, or a date in the signature or title), not by sale date. 39 of 123 lots (31% of works) have a usable creation date; the others are listed at the end by the decade they were sold. Each work is shown once, even when it sold more than once.
