Homework by Lamplight — Carl Larsson Postcard

One of Carl Larsson's most quietly compelling images, this evening scene from the Sundborn home shows a young person bent over homework at a small table, long past dark. The lamp casts a warm pool of light, while the large windows reveal a deep blue night sky, their sills crowded with the potted plants Karin Larsson tended throughout the year.

The contrast of lamp warmth and moonlit blue is quintessential Larsson — a Swedish master of domestic mood. A fine art postcard on 350 g/m² card, size 10×15 cm, perfect for postcrossing and admirers of Nordic art.
