Ester Almqvist lived between 1868 and 1934. She was one of the most eminent Swedish landscape painters in the early 20th century. This essay analyses Esters portraying of the landscape, the people and the relation between each other. The analysis is made with Erwin Panofsky's iconographic method viewed from a feminist point of view. Ester Almqvist displayed the landscape as spirited, where the human is part of the landscape. The human is a working human which is part in a bigger context where the human has a value only by existing regardless of gender, age, looks and attributes.
