This aquatint engraving titled Fleuve de Kemi presents a sweeping view of the Kemi River in northern Finland as it flows through a rugged and forested landscape. The composition includes rocky shores, scattered wooden houses, and figures paddling in a canoe in the foreground, while dramatic cloud formations dominate the sky. The engraving captures the wild and remote character of Lapland’s river scenery and was published as part of Voyage pittoresque au Cap Nord in 1802.

Anders Fredrik Skjöldebrand (1757–1834) was a Swedish military officer, politician, and artist. Best known for his travels and artistic documentation of Northern Europe, he combined visual observation with Enlightenment ideals of exploration and ethnographic interest. His illustrated travel accounts remain among the most important early depictions of the culture and landscapes of Scandinavia and Finland.
