I have checked the Art Sales Index database (2.3 million entries 1950 to the
present day) and found the auction sale entry for this picture,

> Hello
> The picture you must refer to is painted by the Norwegian painter Knud
Larsen
> Bergslien (1827-1908) in 1869, with the title (my translation):
> The "Birchlegs[stockings?] skiing over Filefjell [File mountain]
> bringing Hekon Hekonsson as child to Trondheim".
>
> Hekon 4. Hekonsson (1204-63) was Norwegian king from 1217-63.
> It was more a question of bringing the infant in safety than actual
> kidnapping, there were at least two parties in Norway then, each
> supporting their king-to-be.
>
> I do not know where the painting is today, I will make investigations!
> There is one b/w illustration in:
> Dagestad, Magnus: Dei tre Bergsli-kunstnarane. - Voss: Forlag Magnus
> Dagestad, 1945, s. 19.
>
> I could send a photocopy (although the quality would be rather poor).
