Description: When his own sons and daughters had grown up, Carl Larsson used the children of his neighbours at Sundborn as his models. The children in this picture are from the Nordlund family. Seven-year-old Sven is standing on the roof of the family earth cellar. His older sister Edit is carrying Karin, and in the foreground is Frida with a little basket.
