Albert Theophron Kjellberg (1808 - 1857), artist and porcelain painter, studied painting in Berlin where he also met Carl Schwab. After completing the studies, the two artists leave Berlin together and return to Stockholm. Kjellberg continues his studies at Principskolan and in 1930 he is rewarded with the school's medal of the fourth size for his good knowledge of figure drawing. In 1931, Kjellberg and Schwab start a studio for porcelain painting. But already after a year, the two are separated and much indicates that Kjellberg subsequently devoted himself to oil painting. He signed his works "A.T. Kjellberg" or "Albert Kjellberg".
