Evening Meal by Carl Larsson, 1905. A charming portrait of an intimate winter's evening meal shared by brother and sister. I love the way the way the little boy's hair flies up as he blows on his soup.
Perfect for winter, your holiday, Christmas and New Year greetings, a fine art postcard to be enjoyed and displayed with pride.
Description: Sister and brother share a simple winter's evening meal of bread and soup. The sense of intimacy is heightened by the long dining table obviously meant to accommodate a large family (and the Larsson family was indeed quite large!). A Scandinavian folk art bird ornament inside above the message gives this card a finished feel and adds a bright bit of playfulness.

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 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.
