This watercolour shows one of Carl and Karin Larsson’s daughters writing, but it also has the character of a reportage illustration. It gives a straight-forward account of the interior, not unlike the photos found in today’s home decorating magazines. The green plant stand made according to Karin Larsson’s drawings is a fine example of her design, which strove to combine aesthetic quality with simplicity and function.

Coquelin Cadet http://collection.nationalmuseum.se/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterface&module=collection&objectId=23815&viewType=detailView

In 1889, Anders Zorn and his wife Emma rented a flat with a studio in Montmartre – which became their permanent address for eight years. Zorn quickly established himself in Paris, largely thanks to personal contacts in the Parisian cultural elite, including the actor Coquelin Cadet (1848–1909). Cadet was famous mainly for his monologues. He was also an avid art collector. Zorn portrayed him in his professional role – on stage before an audience. The sculpture in the background can be seen as a reference to his interest in art.

Sweden's most famous etcher, Anders Zorn was a temperamental artist who found solace, after much wandering, near Lake Siljan in Sweden. Nude bathers were a favorite theme; it is said that he "defused the female nude for a generation of Victorian gentlemen." He often tapped local peasant girls to model for him and posed them on the sunlit islands fringing Stockholm. In his hurried handling of the etching needle, Zorn owes a debt to Rembrandt (he owned about 200 Rembrandt prints). In his use of light he resembles the Impressionists, many of whom he had met in Paris.
