Born in Turku, he studied under Robert Wilhelm Ekman before continuing his studies in Düsseldorf (1869–74).[1][2] He was one of the first artists to join Victor Westerholm in the artists colony at Önningeby on the island of Åland in 1886. He and his wife Nina Ahlstedt, also a painter, returned there in subsequent years.[3][4]
Ahlstedt was a prolific painter, creating a wide range of portraits and landscapes. His work is part of permanent collections in Finland and abroad.[5] He participated in exhibitions at the Finnish Artists Exhibitions from 1892 to 1901, as well as in Stockholm (1897) and Paris (1900). A posthumous exhibition was held at the Finnish Artists Exhibition in 1924.[6]
