Carl Larsson — A Moment of Quiet, Art Postcard

Not all of Carl Larsson's Sundborn scenes are cheerful ones. In this composed watercolour, a young woman sits still beside an elaborately decorated cupboard — hands folded, eyes cast down — while an older woman searches among books and papers nearby. The decorated walls and intricately patterned woodwork are rendered with the care Larsson always brought to his home's interiors. A quieter, more thoughtful side of the artist, and a compelling postcard for those who appreciate interior art and psychological depth in painting. Browse the Carl Larsson collection.
