The artwork titled “Lisbeth at the Birch Grove” was created by the artist Carl Larsson in 1910 in Sweden. It is a representation of the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the portrait genre.
The artwork illustrates a serene outdoor scene featuring a young female subject, Lisbeth, who is partially obscured behind the slender, white trunks of birch trees. The background reveals a tranquil landscape bathed in warm light, showcasing a quiet river and a cluster of red-roofed houses. The brushwork and color palette capture the gentle elegance and organic forms characteristic of Art Nouveau, bringing forth a sense of harmony between the human figure and nature. The interplay of light and shadow as well as the detailed depiction of the birch trees enhance the overall tranquility and natural beauty of the scene.
