•  Info created by Carl Larsson - original photo by Swedish National Museum of Fine Arts - edited, uploaded and nominated by W.carter.

This is one of the most noted paintings in Sweden. It is actually rectangular, but it is almost never photographed or depicted that way since it was made for this grand hall and the artist intended for it so be seen like this, framed by the arch of the ceiling. It is also very tricky to photograph the full painting due to the architecture of the hall. Given how important the painting is, I was surprised at only finding murky shots. I worked with the TIF from Nationalmuseum since it was better and had more information than the Google art file. I think this is the best way to show the painting, with as little as possible of the distracting hall, but with some of the arch included for context. -- Cart (talk) 19:08, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
