There was obviously room for children in Carl Larsson’s pictorial world as individuals in their own right. In the watercolours from his home at Sundborn no real distinction is made between a children’s and an adult sphere. Even though Carl Larsson had his own bedroom, the children could roam the house freely. Life outdoors was part of the lifestyle advocated by Carl and Karin Larsson in their illustrated volumes published in large numbers in several countries.
