“Suzanne på förstubron” has something incredibly restful and peaceful about it. We see (barely) the head of the artist’s daughter Suzanne sticking up behind the red planks of the porch and the door to the house is ajar.
The composition of the watercolour is bold and exciting for the viewer as there is no central perspective as far as the eye can see and the model is not the focus. Instead the entrance to the house is set at the edge of the subject and the viewer’s eye is drawn more to the colourful flowerbed than the model.
Karin Larsson’s work on the garden at the couple’s cottage of Lilla Hyttnäs has recently garnered attention and admiration for its innovative and modern design.
The garden demonstrates Karin Larsson’s sense of colour and design also outside the home and was an important space for the new Arts and Crafts ideal that the Larssons embraced.
In the painting we see cress, a fuchsia and a glorious Agapanthus beautifully composed in front of Lilla Hyttnäs.
The work in the catalogue has been exhibited at a number of important exhibitions of Carl Larsson’s art since the very year it was painted, 1910. His daughter Suzanne owned it until her death when it was inherited by her son Ture Ranström.
The painting is a part of Bukowskis' upcoming auction Important Spring Sale.
Viewing June 2th – 7th June. The Auction takes place between June 8th – June 10th.
