“Cosy Corner,” a 1894 watercolor on paper work by Carl Larsson, belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and represents the interior genre. It forms part of Larsson’s series “A Home” and is currently housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden. The artwork presents a tranquil domestic scene featuring a beautifully decorated and neatly arranged cozy corner.
The artwork captures an inviting interior space adorned with tastefully selected furnishings and decorations. A sense of warmth pervades the scene, emphasized by the striped upholstery and soft textures of the sofa and chair. A plaid blanket is carelessly draped over the sofa, suggesting casual comfort, while several carefully positioned books rest on a small wooden table. The mirror and framed pictures on the wall, along with a potted plant on the windowsill, contribute to the richly detailed composition. The presence of a sleeping dog in the foreground adds a touch of homeliness, further enhancing the cozy atmosphere Carl Larsson so adeptly portrays.
