Carl Larsson Winter Snow Scene Art Tile or Trivet

The Falun Yard and the Wash House by Carl Larsson, 1909. Looking at Larsson's paintings always leaves me feeling refreshed, and this one is no exception. I love the graceful lines, the feeling of calm anticipation and the sense of a happy family this painting evokes. Description: Carl Larsson's little girl, all bundled up in her winter coat, pushes her little sled toward the red-painted wash house and the frozen lake where her old brother is putting on his ice skates. A midwinter sun shines through the frosty mist and the branches of a birch tree. A sheaf of wheat hangs high in a tree, food for birds which have gathered. A beautiful decorative art tile -- or transform it into a framed trivet, gift box, cache box, jewellery box or treasure box. Especially treasured at Christmas time, tasteful and beautiful all the year though, especially the winter months. Colours include red, blue, white, yellow and black. : Matching items and more are available in my gallery's Carl Larsson Collection and more in Holiday and Winter Carl Larsson Christmas Collection (just click on the link that says "store" above the description. About the artist: Larsson, Carl (b Stockholm, 28 May 1853; d Falun, 22 Jan. 1919) was a Swedish painter, illustrator, printmaker, and writer. His work included numerous portraits and book illustrations, as well as several large murals (the best known are those on Sweden's artistic history in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 1896), but he is now remembered mainly for his watercolors of the idyllic life he enjoyed in his now-famous house in the village of Sundborn with his wife Karin and their eight children.
