Swedish painter and interior designer
Title: Daddy's Room. From A Home (26 watercolours)

Description: Carl Larsson’s bedroom at Lilla Hyttnäs was a through-room. The door is wide open to the end room where his wife and the smaller children slept. The white four-poster with embroidered curtains stands in the middle of the floor. It has several ingenious features, such as a bench, a chamber-pot cupboard and a small, built-in bedside table. The picture of the bedroom is also a self-portrait: the artist is glimpsed behind his innovative bed, in the midst of buttoning his collar by the looking-glass in the corner.
