Olles Skidfärd - Ett snöbollskrig

Ett snöbollskrig, Elsa Beskow, 1907

This lively illustration from Olles skidfärd by Elsa Beskow captures the joy and energy of winter play. Children, dressed in traditional Nordic winter clothing, have built a grand snow fortress, which they now fiercely defend in an exhilarating snowball fight. The scene is filled with movement, laughter, and the magic of childhood winters.

"Så byggde de snögubbar och en stor snöfästning, och så skulle de förstås storma snöfästningen och började ett så vilt snöbollskrig, att snön yrde om öronen."

Beskow’s timeless artistry brings this moment to life with her soft color palette and detailed depiction of Nordic winter traditions. A perfect print for those who appreciate classic illustrations, vintage children's book art, and cozy winter nostalgia. Ideal for decorating playrooms, nurseries, or as part of a seasonal gallery wall.
