Carl Larsson: Girl in Blue Velvet

A young girl stands quietly beside a golden column, her blue velvet dress catching the light while a vase of lily-of-the-valley blossoms glows white to her right. Behind her, a wall painted with lush green foliage creates the garden-like atmosphere typical of the Larsson home at Sundborn. Carl Larsson painted many portraits of his daughters in the rooms of Lilla Hyttnäs — each one a record of a particular moment and a particular child, composed and quietly extraordinary.

A striking postcard for art collectors, postcrossing enthusiasts, and all who admire Scandinavian watercolour. Explore more Carl Larsson postcards →
