The Yard and Wash-House 1895

"The Yard and Wash-House" (1895) by Carl Larsson, depicts a snowy winter scene outside a red, rustic farmhouse. The focal point is a small child standing in the snow with a wooden sled, looking towards the viewer. The scene is full of wintery details, such as snow-covered trees and a frost-covered bush. The painting captures a moment of peaceful serenity in the Swedish countryside and is a quintessential example of Larsson's signature style, known for its warm depictions of everyday life and intimate family scenes. This work is on display at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.
