Carl Larsson – Studying by the Window, Sundborn

Bright coral walls, a green table, sheer curtains, and a window onto the garden — Carl Larsson's Sundborn interior palette at its most recognisable. A young figure sits absorbed in reading or writing, caught in that particular stillness of concentration. The furniture, the wall colour, the light through the window: all as carefully arranged as any formal composition. Part of the Carl Larsson postcard collection.
