The artwork, titled “In the Corner” by Carl Larsson, was crafted in 1894 in Sweden. This watercolor on paper belongs to the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement and falls within the “interior” genre. It is part of the “A Home” series and is located at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.
In this depiction, a young boy occupies a chair in the corner of a meticulously detailed room. He appears introspective, his head slightly bowed as he holds an object in his hands. The room is adorned with a variety of elements that characterize Larsson’s style: intricately patterned walls and furniture, and a richly decorated stove that showcases the Art Nouveau influence. The striped rugs on the floor and the framed pictures hanging on the wall contribute to the harmonious and cozy atmosphere. The combination of muted and vibrant colors provides a balanced and inviting scene, capturing the artist’s skillful portrayal of domestic tranquility.
