"Gammal Sagbotten" (translated as "Old Saw Pit") is an oil painting by the Swedish artist Olof Arborelius (1842–1915). Created in 1883, this work is one of Arborelius's most recognized pieces and exemplifies his skill in portraying the play of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to detail and texture. The painting depicts a serene and somewhat melancholic scene of an old, disused saw pit, which was a structure used for sawing logs into planks or boards before the advent of modern sawmills.

Arborelius, who was a prominent figure in Swedish art during the late 19th century, was known for his realistic and naturalistic style. He often focused on landscapes and everyday scenes, imbuing them with a sense of tranquility and introspection. "Gammal Sagbotten" is a testament to his artistic philosophy, capturing not only the physical attributes of the saw pit but also evoking a sense of the passage of time and the quietude of the Swedish countryside.

The painting is characterized by its subdued color palette and the interplay of light filtering through the trees, casting shadows across the pit and the surrounding foliage. Arborelius's use of light not only highlights the textural contrasts within the composition but also contributes to the overall mood of the piece.

"Gammal Sagbotten" is held in high regard for its historical and cultural significance in Swedish art history. It reflects the transition in Swedish painting during the 19th century, from the grand historical and romantic works to more intimate and realistic depictions of the natural world and rural life. The painting is part of the collection of the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, which houses many of Arborelius's works and serves as a key institution for the preservation and exhibition of Swedish art.

As an important work by Olof Arborelius, "Gammal Sagbotten" continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic merit and as a representation of the artist's enduring legacy in the canon of Swedish art.
