[[File:Allan Österlind - Råttfångaren från Hameln.jpg|thumb|left|125px|The [[Pied Piper of Hamelin]]]]
He was born to a family of the Swedish nobility and his father was a wholesale merchant. From 1874 to 1875, he studied at the [[Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts]]. As many young Swedish artist did, he went to Paris in 1877 so he could establish his career by exhibiting in the various salons. He soon became a member of the Swedish community there and became a lifelong friend of the painter, [[Ernst Josephson]]. He also became acquainted with [[Ville Vallgren]], [[Christian Skredsvig]], [[August Strindberg]] and [[Eugen of Sweden|Prince Eugen]].
In 1878, he enrolled at the [[École des beaux-arts de Paris]] to study sculpture with [[Pierre-Jules Cavelier]], who recommended that he become a painter and illustrator instead. From 1879, he was a frequent visitor to the artists' colonies at [[Barbizon]] and [[Grez-sur-Loing]]. Over the next decade, he gave several exhibits of watercolors and portraits, often with dark undertones. He also made visits to [[Brittany]] and [[Creuse (département)|Creuse]], which became one of his favorite places.
In 1884 he, Josephson and [[Richard Bergh]] held a joint showing in Stockholm and, two years later, in [[Gothenburg]]. The following year, he became a signatory to an anti-Academy manifesto issued by a group known as the "". Despite opposition from King [[Oscar II]], he and other Swedish expatriates participated in the [[Exposition Universelle (1889)]], and he was awarded a silver medal.<ref>''Journal officiel de la République française'', 29 septembre 1889}}.</ref>.
That same year, he married Joséphine Eugénie Carré (1862-1916), thereby legitimizing their two children, Anna Alina (born 1882) and [[Anders Osterlind|Anders]], who would also become a painter. As a result, he remained in France for the rest of his life, although he never gave up his connections to Sweden and maintained a regular correspondence with Prince Eugen..
In 1890, he ceased participating in showings at the regular salons and became a member of the [[Société nationale des beaux-arts]], which began having annual exhibitions that year. Three years later, possibly at the urging of Josephson, he travelled throughout [[Andalusia]], making sketches that would later become watercolors. In 1894, he was named a Chevalier in the [[Legion of Honour]]. In 1900, he founded an association of watercolorists and began creating [[aquatint]]s.
The start of [[World War I]] and the death of his wife two years later left him in a state of depression and he spent more time travelling. He also began a curious collection of portrait paintings of the inhabitants of the [[Île-de-Bréhat]], done on glasses and plates, at a local cabaret called the "Café des Pêcheurs". Apparently, unable to pay his bill, he had painted a portrait of himself as compensation. Several artists followed suit and the Café became known as the "Cabaret des Décapités". Some of them may still be seen at the [[Verrerie of Brehat|Verrerie]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2BaBXH8 Le Décapités de Bréhat] @ Le Petit Futé.</ref>
He died in poverty in 1938. His works may be seen at the [[Nationalmuseum]], the [[Musée des beaux-arts de Tours]], [[Musée des beaux-arts de Reims]] and several others in France and Sweden.<ref>''Journal officiel de la République française'', 1 September 1913}</ref><ref>''Journal officiel de la République française'', 20 December 1918</ref>.
