Min kusin från landet aroseniusarchive.org/#/image/AVsAtY…

"Från samma år daterar sig också den kända ”Min kusin från landet” (ett porträtt av lantbrukaren Olof Arosenius), där han på samma sätt medvetet återknutit till en rustik stil och motivtolkning. Porträttet är givet med humor och maliciös sympati, kusinen poserar i den förblivande ställning han lärt sig intaga under exercisen, obekant med de själfullt slingrande positioner som hörde porträttkonsten till. Konturen är fast sammanhållen och understryker den rustika enkelheten i modellens bonjour. Fonden är enligt Nils Adler tillagd i efterhand, någon sådan tapet hade Arosenius inte inom räck håll, men den fullgör väl sin uppgift att karaktärisera den okonstlade lantlighet som han velat fånga in. Mot dessa rustika drag står färgskalans raffinemang: endast en blå och en röd ton har jämte bottentonens blekockra kommit till användning." Sven Sandström, "Ivar Arosenius. Hans liv och konst", 1959, s. 156
