Description: The popularity of Carl Larsson’s pictures of his own family made him much sought-after for portraits of children. Parents among the wealthy, art-loving bourgeoisie in Stockholm were particularly keen to have a portrait of their offspring by Larsson. He often refused, and once even turned down a request from the royal family. The girl in this portrait is the daughter of an American diplomat stationed in Stockholm. She was depicted in Carl Larsson’s studio on Glasbruksgatan on Södermalm.
