Carl Larsson -Syende Flicka

The elegant composition of Carl Larsson’s ’Syende Flicka (Sewing Girl)’ captures a quiet moment of needlework in the ’Workshop’ at Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn. The room in question originally served as a studio before the new larger (Sweden's largest in its time) studio was inaugurated on New Year's Eve 1899. When the new studio was ready, Karin Larsson moved in with her looms in the old space which was named "the Workshop".
