Carl Larsson (1853 – 1919) was a Swedish artist representative of the Arts and Crafts movement. His many works include oils, watercolours and frescoes. He considered his finest work to be Midvinterblot (Midwinter Sacrifice), a large wall mural now displayed in the Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts.

For full biographical notes on Larsson see part 1. For earlier works see parts 1 - 6 also. 

This is part 7 of a 7-part post on the works of Carl Larsson:
