Like so many domestic themes and details in Carl Larsson's work, readers and their seats appear frequently - and we never tire of of looking at them. This is the luminous Holiday Reading (1916, private collection) which shows Carl Larsson’s wife Karin and Esbjörn, their youngest son, sitting in a corner of the garden of the house, Lilla Hyttnäs at Sundborn, with a chestnut tree providing shade. The house and garden can be visited, and it's still  possible to sit outside with a book.
