Lisbeth smelling a Tulip
Lisbeth was Carl Larsson and his wife Karin's
fourth child, born in 1891, making her three years old when
her father painted this watercolour of her smelling a tulip.
Larsson records what a difficult task it was trying to get
his children to stay still long enough for him to make a sketch
of them, generally taking to their heels when they were called
to be his model!
The design is worked
on 28 count Cashel linen and the worked area measures 8½
x 5¾ins (22 x 15cm).
