Sigurd Kielland Brandt was from a famous and well-known Danish artist family. He travelled frequently in Scandinavia, Great Britain, France, Belgium, America, and Greenland. His paintings were decorative works with many marine motifs ranging from kayaks to fishing boats. Kielland Brandt built boats and sailed with his brother Christian in his youth, often sailing with the Royal Greenland Trade Bark Northern Lights in the North Atlantic where he learned about vessel movements due to waves. He was married to painter Edith Mary Nissen Salomon. The works submitted cannot be clearly assigned, since numerous works show similar motifs.
