{"product_id":"lisbeth-reading-carl-larsson","title":"Lisbeth Reading - Carl Larsson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA delicate 1904 watercolour by Carl Larsson, depicting his daughter Lisbeth reading at a table in their family home in Sundborn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCarl Larsson, a central figure in the Swedish Arts and Crafts movement, produced this watercolour in 1904. The work depicts his daughter, Lisbeth, engaged in reading at a small table within their family home, Lilla Hyttnäs, in Sundborn. Larsson is widely recognised for his depictions of domestic life, which helped define the Swedish national aesthetic at the turn of the twentieth century.\n\nThe composition is structured around a clear division of space. A bold, vertical red post anchors the right side of the frame, contrasting with the muted green of the table and the soft, natural tones of the room. On the table sits a pot of Schlumbergera, or Christmas cactus, its bright red blossoms mirroring the colour of the architectural elements. The background offers a glimpse into an adjacent room, where coats hang on a wall, adding a sense of lived-in reality to the scene. \n\nLarsson employs a precise, linear style, using fine ink outlines to define the forms before applying watercolour washes. This technique provides a clarity that is characteristic of his work, balancing decorative elements with a focus on the quiet activities of his children. The light, which appears to come from the left, illuminates the pages of the book and the profile of the girl, creating a calm atmosphere. By documenting the daily routines of his household, Larsson captured a specific vision of family life that remains accessible and grounded. This print captures the balance of colour and line that defines his approach to interior subjects, offering a view into the personal world of the artist and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/trellis-william-morris\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTrellis - William Morris — William Morris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/beatrice-and-lionel-crane-walter-crane-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBeatrice and Lionel Crane - Walter Crane — Walter Crane\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Carl Larsson","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101805023567,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101805875535,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101805908303,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101805941071,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58101805973839,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lisbeth-Reading_Poster_CompositorV1_1782868569616.jpg?v=1782868745","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/lisbeth-reading-carl-larsson","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
