A woman in a long black dress and striped apron holds a baby in red at the door of a painted room. The door is red with a framed portrait, and above it a painted panel reads Guds Fred, God's peace. On the right a red cabinet with painted flowers carries a candelabrum with three lit candles, bottles and a decanter. A shelf of cups, jugs and hanging plates runs along the green walls, and a tall glass cupboard of china stands to the left. Carl Larsson painted the rooms of his family's house at Sundborn, which he and his wife Karin decorated together. This watercolour is one of 26 in his series A Home. The pictures were reproduced in the book Ett hem in 1899. Nationalmuseum in Stockholm bought this sheet in 1900.
This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Framing. The gallery ground is part of the print, so frame it without a mat — dark wood flatters the lighter palette; black sharpens it.
