Ett Hem - Gården och brygghuset

Gården och brygghuset – Carl Larsson

This evocative winter scene by Carl Larsson is part of his beloved book Ett hem (1899), where he illustrated moments from his family’s life in Sundborn, Sweden. His watercolors beautifully capture the charm of Swedish countryside living, blending natural beauty with everyday simplicity.

In this artwork, a child glides on a kicksled across the snow-covered yard, while the traditional red-painted buildings stand warm against the frosty landscape. The low winter sun bathes the scene in soft light, emphasizing the crisp air and stillness of a Swedish winter morning. A carefully placed Christmas sheaf, or julkarve, for the birds adds a charming seasonal touch.

This print is perfect for creating a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere in a home, particularly in a hallway, living room, or holiday-inspired space. Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, it brings a sense of Scandinavian tradition and warmth to any setting.
