Washing Jetty on the Sundborn River — Carl Larsson Postcard

Painted in 1917, this luminous watercolour shows the washing jetty on the Sundborn River at Carl Larsson's Lilla Hyttnäs. Women work at the scrubbing boards while children watch, surrounded by blue cornflowers and orange marigolds in full bloom. The red timber buildings of Dalarna reflect in the calm water beyond.

One of Larsson's late works, this painting celebrates the everyday rhythm of Swedish summer life with characteristic warmth and vivid colour. A splendid postcard for postcrossing and collectors of Scandinavian art. Explore more Carl Larsson postcards →
