Thanks for posting the link.

I most definitely can see the beauty in it.

However, I like this painting so much more:

Look at what Carl Larsson has brought into the picture; his own family neatly “ordered” more or less at the artist’s strict command - yet involved in different independent, free activities. Behold the sheer beauty of a typical Nordic midsummer “crayfish lake” (and do study the relation between the birch trees and the colors at play around them) and above all, dare to accept his invitation to the table; drink some snaps and learn how to eat crayfish - or was it the other way around..

Only Strindberg™ knows.

I love Carl Larsson's work.

There are a couple fine books of his paintings available at the American Swedish Institute:
