Farbror Rimfrost och Olle i skogen, Elsa Beskow, 1907

This enchanting illustration from Olles skidfärd by Elsa Beskow captures a magical encounter in the snow-covered forest. Young Olle, bundled in winter clothes, gazes in awe at Farbror Rimfrost, a wise and frosty figure who appears to have painted the landscape in shimmering ice. The scene is filled with winter’s quiet beauty, as snow-laden trees form a dreamy backdrop.

"‘Är du Kung Vinter?’ frågade han. ‘Neej då,’ sa gubben, ‘jag är bara Farbror Rimfrost jag, tycker du inte jag har gjort fint i skogen i dag?’”

With her signature soft color palette and delicate linework, Beskow creates a scene that feels both whimsical and timeless. This vintage illustration is perfect for those who love classic Scandinavian folklore, winter-themed decor, and nostalgic children’s book art. A wonderful addition to a nursery, reading nook, or a gallery wall celebrating Nordic storytelling.
