Biography: 
A cousin of the painter Gustaf Olaf Cederström (1845-1933), Ture Nikolaus also served as an officer of the Swedish Royal Guard (1868-71). He studied from 1868 to 1869 in Paris with Swedish genre and portrait painter Hugo Fredrik Salmson (1844-1894) and continued his training with history painter Albert Baur (1835-1906) in Düsseldorf. After finishing his military service, Cederström studied in Weimar from 1872 until 1875. In 1877 he moved to Munich, where he remained for the rest of his life. Influenced by history painter Karl Theodor von Piloty (1826-1886) and, in particular, genre painter Eduard von Grützner (1846-1878), Cederström painted genre scenes, most of which concerned the life of monks and priests. During his lifetime he received various honors and decorations.
