Carl Larsson – Children by the Fireplace, Sundborn

Two of Carl Larsson's children at ease by the large brick fireplace in the Sundborn home — one in blue holds a black-and-white cat, the other reads quietly. The tall chimney surround with its dark ornamental trim is a signature feature of the Larsson household interior, familiar from his illustrated books. A scene of childhood absorbed in its own world, drawn with the warmth Carl Larsson brought to every domestic moment. See the full Carl Larsson postcard collection.
