Original Description
Flicka pa krokodil. Anknytning till Kattresan by Ivar Arosenius is a whimsical yet hauntingly beautiful work from Sweden's early 20th-century golden age of illustration. Created around 1913, this watercolor masterpiece showcases Arosenius's signature dreamlike folkloric style—bridging Nordic fairy-tale traditions with Symbolist tendencies. The painting depicts a melancholic girl riding a crocodile through an ethereal landscape, its delicate washes of muted blues and earthy ochres creating an atmosphere of childlike wonder tinged with psychological depth. As one of Sweden's most important narrative artists, Arosenius revolutionized picture-book art with his psychologically rich scenes that influenced subsequent generations of Scandinavian illustrators like John Bauer. The work's ambiguous storytelling—neither fully sinister nor purely playful—positions it as a seminal piece in the transition between Victorian sentimentality and modern visual storytelling.
For interior styling, this artwork shines in transitional or bohemian spaces seeking a conversation-starting focal piece. Frame it in a slender gilt or weathered oak frame to honor its vintage origins, ideally displayed in a reading nook, children's bedroom, or creative workspace where its storytelling quality can inspire. The painting's soft sepia-tinged palette (dominated by biscuit tones and duck-egg blue) pairs beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Setting Plaster" walls or warm walnut wood finishes. A 40x50cm reproduction would make an intimate statement above a velvet-upholstered settee or floating shelf display, while museums-quality large-format prints could anchor an eclectic gallery wall when combined with other Nordic-themed etchings. For office settings, position it near mid-century furniture to create an artful contrast between modernist lines and the artwork's organic fluidity.
