The artwork titled “Flowers on the Windowsill,” created by Carl Larsson in 1894, is a watercolor on paper exemplifying the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This interior genre piece is housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden.
In this delicate watercolor, the artist depicts a serene domestic scene characterized by a young woman tending to an array of potted plants placed on a windowsill. The scene is set within a tastefully decorated room, adorned with light-colored furnishings and decor, featuring ornate chairs, a round table, and a cozy couch with a floral cushion. The painting captures the gentle natural light filtering through the window, illuminating the well-kept plants and creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. The intricate detailing of the plants and interior elements showcases Larsson’s meticulous attention to detail and mastery in creating a harmonious and warm domestic ambience.
