Carl Larsson – Girl Writing by the Window, Sundborn – Postcard

A girl with auburn braids in a striped blouse concentrates at her writing desk by a bright window — beside her, green tiered shelves hold cascading potted plants in the light. The yellow folk-painted cupboard and wooden panelling belong to Carl Larsson's Sundborn home in every detail. A quiet scene of domestic focus, framed in a house designed to be looked at as much as lived in. Part of the Carl Larsson postcard collection.
