About this work

This preparatory sketch in oil and pencil shows three framed scenes above an inscription band, with a stepped staircase drawn in the lower right. The central panel depicts a ship deck where richly dressed men look on as a crate marked Il Re Gust is unloaded, while the side panels show a seated woman with a bust and a sculptor working beside a statue. Carl Larsson made this proposed wall decoration for the Nationalmuseum in 1890.
