Anders Allan Osterlind, known as Allanic or Nanic Osterlind, was a French watercolorist born on February 11, 1909 in Paris and died on June 27, 1943 in Villejuif (Val-de-Marne). Son of the painter Anders Örm Österlind and Rachel Bakra, he was born on February 11, 1909 in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. Declared three days later, under the name of Bakra, as the son of Rachel Bakra, a seamstress, and of an unnamed father, he was recognized by his parents, according to a deed drawn up at the town hall of Neuilly-sur-Seine on April 13, then legitimized by their marriage celebrated on March 5, 1914 at the town hall of the twelfth arrondissement of Paris. Immersed in painting from his earliest childhood, often accompanying his grandfather, the Swedish painter, Allan Österlind, and his father, he developed talents as a landscaper, in gouache. His mother Rachel died when he was only eleven years old. When his mother died, he was taken in by his paternal aunt, Annette Österlind, wife of Édouard Sarradin (1869-1957), journalist, art critic at the Journal des débats and curator of the Palais de Compiègne, who raised him at the same time as her son Michel Sarradin (1909-1987), surgeon in Versailles (Yvelines).
