Description
A detailed genre scene by Carl Larsson depicting a family breakfast in a Swedish birch forest, rendered with clarity and light.
Breakfast in the Open (Frukost i det gröna) is a characteristic work by the Swedish artist Carl Larsson. Painted in 1910, this large-scale composition captures a domestic scene set within a birch forest, a recurring motif in Larsson's work. The artist frequently depicted his own family life at Lilla Hyttnäs, his home in Sundborn, which became a symbol of the Swedish national romantic style.
The painting features a group of figures engaged in a leisurely outdoor meal. A central figure plays a violin while others attend to the table or sit upon the grass. The composition is structured by the vertical trunks of the silver birch trees, which act as natural partitions for the various activities occurring simultaneously. Larsson employs a light, airy palette, dominated by the pale greys of the birch bark, the soft greens of the meadow, and the crisp whites of the clothing. The sunlight filters through the canopy, creating a dappled effect across the scene.
Larsson's approach to this work demonstrates his interest in the intersection of daily life and decorative design. The figures are rendered with clear outlines and a focus on clarity, reflecting his background as an illustrator. The scene conveys a sense of harmony and domestic order, qualities that were central to the aesthetic ideals of the period. By placing the figures in a natural setting, Larsson emphasises the connection between the home and the surrounding environment. The inclusion of traditional elements, such as the folk-inspired clothing and the rustic setting, aligns with the broader interest in Swedish national identity during the early twentieth century. This print captures the precise detail and the gentle, observational quality of the original oil painting, offering a view into the domestic world of the Larsson family.

Artist Biography
Carl Larsson
Larsson's father told him he cursed the day he was born. The family lived in extreme poverty in Gamla Stan, the old town of Stockholm. His father was a casual labourer who drank. The boy was admitted to the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts at thirteen, on the recommendation of a teacher who saw something in him that the household did not.
He struggled for years, working as an illustrator and retoucher of photographs while trying to establish himself as a painter. In 1882, at an artists' colony in Grez-sur-Loing outside Paris, he met the artist Karin Bergoo. They married, and everything changed. The watercolours he began painting in Grez were lighter, more fluid and more personal than anything he had produced before.
In 1888 Karin's father gave them a small house called Lilla Hyttnas in Sundborn, a village in Dalarna. The house became their joint project: Carl painted it, Karin designed the interiors, the furniture, the textiles, the colour schemes. The result was one of the most influential domestic interiors in Scandinavian design, a prototype for what would eventually become Swedish modernism. He painted the house and the family inside it (they had eight children) in watercolours that were published as a book, Ett Hem (A Home), in 1899. It sold across Europe.
The paintings of Sundborn are warm, bright and apparently effortless, which made people assume his life was too. It was not. He suffered depression in his later years and had a stroke in 1919. His most ambitious painting, Midvinterblot, a monumental canvas of a Viking midwinter sacrifice, was rejected by the National Museum. He admitted in his memoirs that the pictures of his family and home had become the most lasting part of his work. He was right.
