"Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image."
One of my favorite paintings, seen at St Louis Art Museum during a recent visit. Just love the expression on her face, and the humanity embodied in her presence. An oil painting on canvas by Gerard van Honthorst, created in 1625.

Carl Larsson was born in 1853.

Carl Larsson's most famous works are those depicting his family and home in Sundborn, Sweden. His watercolors and illustrations, such as those in his books "Ett Hem" (A Home), "Larssons", and "At Solsidan", showcase a unique blend of detailed realism and an idealized, idyllic vision of family life.
