{"product_id":"my-mother-carl-larsson-1","title":"My Mother - Carl Larsson","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sensitive 1893 watercolour portrait of the artist's mother by Swedish painter Carl Larsson, capturing a quiet moment of domestic reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eCarl Larsson, a Swedish painter known for his depictions of domestic life, produced this portrait of his mother in 1893. The work demonstrates his characteristic approach to watercolour, where he combines precise line work with a restrained palette. The subject sits in a simple chair, her hands clasped in her lap, wearing a dark dress and a patterned shawl. The background is sparse, featuring two framed pictures on the wall, which provide a sense of the domestic environment Larsson often explored in his work.\n\nLarsson was a central figure in the Swedish Arts and Crafts movement, and his work frequently celebrated the simplicity and warmth of home life. In this portrait, he captures his mother with a direct, honest gaze. The composition is balanced and calm, reflecting the artist's focus on the quiet moments of everyday existence. The use of light and shadow is subtle, allowing the viewer to focus on the expression and posture of the sitter. The artist's signature and the date are visible in the lower left corner, inscribed with the word 'Mor', the Swedish term for mother.\n\nThis piece is representative of Larsson's ability to elevate personal subjects into art. By choosing to paint his mother in her own space, he creates a sense of intimacy that is both personal and universal. The technical execution shows his mastery of the watercolour medium, using thin washes to build form and texture. The print captures the original's delicate balance of tone and line, making it a suitable addition to any collection focused on late nineteenth-century European art or the history of domestic portraiture.\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\/the-rubaiyat-of-omar-khayyam-text-and-decoration-by-morris-with-illustrations-by-burne-jones-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;\"\u003eThe Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, text and decoration by Morris with illustrations by Burne-Jones - William Morris — William Morris\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-englishman-walter-crane\" 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;\"\u003eThe Englishman - 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":57975993270607,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57975993827663,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57975993860431,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57975993893199,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57975993925967,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/My-Mother_Poster_CompositorV1_1781831884953.jpg?v=1781832025","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/my-mother-carl-larsson-1","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
