"Decorating the Tree" (Swedish: "Julgranskonfekt") is a watercolor painting by the renowned Swedish artist Carl Larsson, created in 1904. This work is part of a series of watercolors that depict the artist's family life and the interiors of their home in Sundborn, which have become iconic images of Swedish culture and the Arts and Crafts movement. The painting captures the charming and intimate moment of Larsson's family engaged in the traditional holiday activity of decorating the Christmas tree.

In "Decorating the Tree," Larsson's use of light, color, and composition reflects both the joy of the festive season and the warmth of family togetherness. The scene is set in the artist's own home, a frequent subject for his works, which he and his wife, Karin, also an artist and designer, had decorated in a style that combined traditional Swedish elements with contemporary Arts and Crafts influences. The Larsson family's approach to interior design was characterized by a love for bright colors, natural materials, and an integration of art into everyday life, which is evident in the painting.

The artwork features several of Larsson's eight children and his wife, each absorbed in the task of adorning the tree with candles, apples, Swedish flags, and other ornaments, known as "julgranskonfekt" in Swedish. The term "julgranskonfekt" can refer to both the act of decorating the tree and the confections or decorations themselves, which were often edible treats. The painting's composition draws the viewer's eye to the central activity, while the surrounding interior provides a richly detailed backdrop that offers insight into the family's life and the period's aesthetic.

"Decorating the Tree" is celebrated for its depiction of a quintessential Swedish Christmas tradition and is emblematic of Larsson's broader body of work, which often celebrated the idyllic aspects of domestic life. The painting remains a beloved image in Sweden, where it continues to evoke nostalgia and embodies the spirit of the holiday season. It is held in high regard both for its artistic merit and for its cultural significance, encapsulating a moment of Swedish heritage that continues to resonate with audiences today.
