Important Spring Sale presents "Målargården" by Carl Larsson
During the years 1914-1915, Carl Larsson devoted most of his time to the wall painting "Midvinterblot," intended to cover the last empty wall in the Nationalmuseum staircase. To support the artist financially during this period, Fritzes Kungl. Hofbokhandel in Stockholm commissioned a series of watercolours from him featuring his beloved Sundborn motifs. In "Målargården," which appears to be one of these watercolours, Larsson showcases both his technical skill and his compositional creativity. The model is seen sitting at Carl Larsson’s easel in front of the porch and the workshop in the main building, with the studio section to the left. She sits before the easel, contemplating the painting the artist made of her, though Larsson himself seems to have left the scene, possibly to sketch the painting currently up for auction instead.
