Ett Hem - Namnsdag på härbret

Namnsdag på härbret – Carl Larsson

This lively and festive watercolor by Carl Larsson is part of his renowned book Ett hem (1899), where he captured moments from his family’s life in Sundborn, Sweden. His work is known for its warmth, storytelling, and celebration of home and tradition.

In this illustration, a name day celebration unfolds in the cozy setting of the family’s härbre, a traditional Swedish storage house repurposed for gatherings. Children dressed in playful costumes bring a theatrical energy to the scene, while family members look on with joy. The striped textiles, floral decorations, and carefully detailed interiors reflect the characteristic charm of Larsson’s home, blending Swedish folk traditions with the artist’s signature Jugend style.

A perfect print for those who love festive and nostalgic imagery, this artwork adds warmth and storytelling to a living room, hallway, or children's space. Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, it brings a touch of historical charm and celebration into the home.
