Sunday Rest 1900

Carl Larsson's "Sunday Rest" (1900) is a painting depicting a peaceful domestic scene. The painting, now housed at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, showcases Larsson's signature style of depicting everyday life in a warm and inviting manner. The intimate composition focuses on a woman resting her hands on a table, with a vase of flowers and a glimpse of a woman in a doorway adding to the sense of tranquility. The use of light and color, particularly the warm tones of wood and sunlight, creates a sense of coziness and serenity, making "Sunday Rest" a cherished example of Swedish domestic realism.
