"Christmas Evening" (Swedish: "Julaftonen") is a watercolor painting by the renowned Swedish artist Carl Larsson, created in 1904-1905 as part of his beloved series of watercolors depicting family life in the Swedish countryside. This particular work captures the quintessential Swedish Christmas celebration, known as "jul," within Larsson's own home, Lilla Hyttnäs in Sundborn. The painting is a warm and intimate portrayal of the Larsson family during the festive season, showcasing the artist's talent for combining personal subject matter with national romantic and folkloric elements.

In "Christmas Evening," Larsson illustrates a scene filled with the light and warmth that characterizes the traditional Swedish Christmas. The composition focuses on the family gathered around the Christmas tree, which is adorned with candles and decorations. The attention to detail in the depiction of the room's interior, the textiles, and the festive attire of the family members reflects Larsson's interest in Swedish design and crafts, which he often celebrated in his work.

The painting is part of a series that Larsson created for the book "Åt solsidan" ("On the Sunny Side"), which was published in 1910. This series, along with others, contributed to Larsson's reputation as an artist who celebrated the idyllic aspects of domestic life and Swedish cultural identity at the turn of the 20th century. "Christmas Evening" is not only a personal document of the Larsson family's holiday traditions but also serves as a visual representation of the idealized Swedish Christmas, resonating with viewers in Sweden and beyond.

Today, "Christmas Evening" is considered one of Carl Larsson's most iconic works and is often reproduced in various forms, especially during the holiday season. It remains a testament to Larsson's skill as a watercolorist and his ability to capture the essence of Swedish culture and the spirit of the Christmas celebration. The original painting is part of the collection at the Carl Larsson-gården in Sundborn, which is now a museum dedicated to the life and work of Carl Larsson and his wife, Karin.
