“Daddy’s Room,” created by Carl Larsson circa 1895 in Sweden, is a watercolor painting on paper. Belonging to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement, this interior genre artwork is part of Larsson’s “A Home” series. Measuring 43 x 32 cm, it is housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.
The artwork presents a cozy, warmly lit interior of a room. The focal point is a four-poster bed adorned with white and red linens, which dominates the center of the setting. The room exhibits meticulous attention to detail, with bookshelves lined with volumes, intricately patterned curtains, and various furnishings that reflect a lived-in, yet orderly space. The scene is accented with homely touches, such as the pair of boots beside the bed and textiles with fringed edges. The overall composition captures the essence of a personal, private space imbued with comfort and elegance characteristic of Art Nouveau aesthetics.
