The picture is of Sven Månsson and his wife Maria, most likely in front of their home in Bökenäs.
The following images are from the inventory of Sven Månsson's estate. The content of his estate is typical of a small farm in those days.
For some reason the inventory was done a long time (2,5 years) after Sven's death. Normally it is done within 6 months.
