Publik beskrivning

Hugo Theorell made this puzzle at the age of 15 out of a painting by Swedish artist Carl Larsson. At school, Theorell was very interested in woodwork and crafts. Using a jigsaw of his own design, he became skilled at making jigsaw puzzles. By selling them, Theorell paid for violin lessons at home in Linköping and, later, trips to Stockholm for more lessons and other studies. He was a talented violinist, but an even better chemist, receiving the 1955 Medicine Prize for his work on enzymes.

The puzzle was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by Hugo Theorell’s family in 2014.
