The unused card somehow misleads us into thinking Molin was Romanian.  Not so:  Johan Peter Molin’s father was a baker who lived in Gothenburg, Sweden. In 1843, Molin travelled to Copenhagen to study; later, he lived in Paris and then Rome. From 1853 he taught at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts and two years later he was appointed professor in sculpting. In 1859 he completed the sculpture The Knife Wrestlers (“Bältespännarna”), which is what you see on this unused card from Romania.  Copies of this work exist in Gothenburg, in Stockholm and in other Swedish cities.  Maybe in Romania too, but we don’t know.  Grade: 1
