Breakfast in the Open 1913

Carl Larsson's "Breakfast in the Open" from 1913 captures a scene of everyday life in a Swedish birch forest. The painting depicts a group of figures enjoying a meal outdoors, with a violinist playing for them. The lighthearted scene, filled with natural elements and relaxed figures, is characteristic of Larsson's style, which often focused on domestic life and landscapes. The composition is harmonious, with the figures arranged in a natural way around the table, the birch trees providing a backdrop to the scene. This idyllic portrayal of Swedish life helped establish Larsson as a prominent artist of the period.
