Author Description

Carl Larsson (1853–1919) was a Swedish artist who painted many portraits and book illustrations, but he is remembered above all for the watercolor paintings he made of his wife and children at home. He could paint an empty room, or he might paint a room crowded with kids in fancy costumes. Carl’s wife, Karin, was an artist too, and their house was full of flowers, books, and painted furniture designed by the two artists.
