Ett Hem - Timmerrännan

Timmerrännan – Carl Larsson

This atmospheric winter scene by Carl Larsson is part of his book Ett hem (1899), where he documented the landscapes and daily life around his home in Sundborn, Sweden. His delicate brushwork and use of light give this artwork a quiet and reflective mood, characteristic of his ability to capture the beauty of Swedish nature.

The painting depicts a frozen river with a wooden timmerränna, or log flume, used to transport timber down the waterway. The snow-covered surroundings, gentle flow of the river, and muted winter colors create a tranquil yet dynamic composition. The presence of red-painted wooden fences and houses in the background adds warmth to the otherwise cool palette, balancing the serene winter atmosphere with hints of life and tradition.

A perfect print for lovers of Scandinavian landscapes and historical Nordic settings, this artwork fits beautifully in a living room, hallway, or study. Whether displayed alone or as part of a gallery wall, it brings a touch of Swedish winter charm into any home.
