Swedish Realist Painter, 1853-1919 Swedish painter, illustrator and printmaker.

From 1871 to 1878 he contributed illustrations to the comic journal Kaspar and the Ny illustrerad tidning. From 1875, for several decades, he was a prolific book illustrator, his most renowned work in this field being his drawings for Föltskärns beröttelser ('The Barber-surgeon's tales'; pubd 1883-4) by Zacharius Topelius, and the Rococo-inspired watercolours for the Samlade skaldeförsök ('Collected attempts at poetry'; pubd 1884) by the 18th-century Swedish author Anna Maria Lenngren.  Related Paintings of Carl Larsson :. | medeltidsmysteriet | fodelsedagshyacinten | klappbrygga vid sundbornsan | Mama-s and the Little Girl-s Room | prinsessan var |
