About the painting
A Bite is perhaps the oil painting where Carl Larsson’s brushwork is most like that of his watercolours. This work is an example of how imaginative Rococo pastiche and plein-air naturalism need not be mutually exclusive. Carl Larsson’s paintings in this genre should be seen in relation to his delight in the 18th century and his major undertaking to illustrate Anna Maria Lenngren’s Samlade skaldeförsök, which he was working on in Grez on behalf of Albert Bonnier in 1883–84.
