Ett Hem - Frukost under stora björken

Frukost under stora björken – Carl Larsson

This enchanting watercolor by Carl Larsson is one of the many beloved illustrations from his book Ett hem (1899), where he depicted idyllic moments from his family's life in Sundborn, Sweden. Through soft colors and masterful composition, Larsson captured the essence of Swedish countryside living and its warm, social atmosphere.

In this scene, a family gathers around a rustic wooden table beneath the shade of a large birch tree, enjoying a leisurely breakfast outdoors. The play of light filtering through the leaves, the relaxed postures of the children, and the delicate detailing of clothing and expressions create a serene yet lively composition. This artwork beautifully embodies the harmony between nature, family, and tradition that defined Larsson’s artistic vision.

A perfect print for those who appreciate classic Scandinavian aesthetics, this piece adds warmth and charm to a dining area, kitchen, or living space. Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, it brings a sense of nostalgia and timeless beauty to any home.
