The artwork, titled “Detail Of Christmas Eve,” was created by Carl Larsson in 1906 in Sweden. It belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the still life genre.
The artwork depicts an intimately detailed scene of a festive Christmas Eve setting. At the forefront, there is a richly adorned table covered with an intricately designed tablecloth. The table is filled with an array of dishes, including a large roasted ham, plates, glasses, and other dining ware, all carefully arranged. A centerpiece candlestick holding multiple lit candles casts a warm glow over the scene. In the background, a family is gathered near a roaring fireplace, enhancing the cozy and festive atmosphere. The composition is filled with exquisite details that reflect the essence of a traditional Christmas celebration.
