Old Anna

Old Anna by Carl Larsson

Step into the cozy, blue-walled kitchen of Carl Larsson’s famous home, Lilla Hyttnäs. Through the open red door, we see 'Old Anna,' the family's beloved housekeeper, busy at work in the pantry, surrounded by stacks of white dishes. The room is a masterpiece of Swedish domestic bliss, featuring a massive tiled stove glowing with fire, pewter plates lined up on shelves, and simple wooden chairs waiting for a meal. Above the door, a painted banner proclaims a Swedish proverb about motherly love, adding a touch of folk art charm to this quintessential scene of late 19th-century life.
