Carl Larsson: Girl with Apple Candelabra — Postcard

Dressed head-to-toe in festive red with a pom-pom hat and fur-edged wooden clogs, this girl carries a basket of golden apples in one hand and a julstake — a traditional Swedish candelabra strung with apples — in the other. The image radiates pure Carl Larsson festive joy: vivid colour, warmth, and the cheerful abundance of a Scandinavian celebration. The composition became so beloved it was later reproduced by Royal Copenhagen as a porcelain figurine.

A wonderful postcard for Christmas gift-giving, Nordic tradition enthusiasts, and collectors of Swedish art. Explore more Carl Larsson postcards →
