Between Christmas and New Year
Carl Larsson invites us into his own home, Lilla Hyttnäs, for a quiet moment between the holidays. A mother stands holding her baby in a room bursting with hand-painted cabinets and stacked ceramics, while the words 'Guds Fred' (God's Peace) hang above the door like a cozy blessing. This watercolor masterpiece captures the essence of Swedish domestic life—cluttered, colorful, and utterly peaceful—blending Art Nouveau flair with rustic charm. It feels like a snapshot of a perfect, lazy afternoon where the Christmas decorations haven't quite been put away yet.
