The artwork titled “Model Writing Postcards” is by the artist Carl Larsson, created in 1906 in Sweden. This piece is executed in watercolor on paper and is classified within the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. It measures 68 by 100 centimeters and is a genre painting. Currently, it is housed in the Thielska Galleriet in Stockholm, Sweden.
The artwork depicts a nude female figure seated at a table, engrossed in writing postcards. The scene is set in a domestic interior, characterized by detailed and vibrant elements. The wooden panels and the colorful, red furniture, including the chair and table, contrast with the soft natural tones of the woman’s skin. A basket is placed at her feet, and a vase with flowers adorns the table, contributing to a serene and intimate atmosphere. To the left, an easel holds a painting of another nude figure, adding depth to the setting. The meticulous attention to detail and the harmonious composition reflect Larsson’s distinctive style within the Art Nouveau movement.
