Carl Larsson: A Girl Fishing on the Sundborn River

One of Carl Larsson's most recognisable watercolours: a young girl with a red hat and braided hair, seen from behind, fishing from a wooden dock on the still Sundborn river. Autumn birches and farmhouses are reflected in the water; the wide Swedish landscape stretches out around her. A quintessential Larsson scene — unhurried, luminous, and deeply rooted in place — ideal for collectors, postcrossing, and Scandinavian art lovers. Browse the full Carl Larsson collection.
