Carl Larsson: Christmas Morning, 1894 — Postcard

"Christmas Morning" (Julmorgen), painted in 1894, is one of Carl Larsson's most celebrated festive scenes. A smiling woman strides forward in a beautifully embroidered Dalarna folk costume — green vest, floral apron, candy-striped red skirt — carrying a wooden tray while other figures bustle around a candlelit gathering behind her. Carl Larsson and his family lived in Dalarna, a region famous throughout Sweden for its folk traditions, costumes, and seasonal celebrations.

A wonderful postcard for those who cherish Nordic folk art, Swedish cultural history, and the rich festive world of Larsson's Sundborn. Explore more Carl Larsson postcards →
