Olles Skidfärd - Snöborg med isbjörnar

Snöborg med isbjörnar, Elsa Beskow, 1907

This striking illustration from Olles skidfärd by Elsa Beskow transports us to the heart of a winter fairytale. The scene depicts Olle and Farbror Rimfrost arriving at an imposing snow castle, its towers and walls draped in icicles. Two mighty polar bears stand guard at the entrance, greeting them with familiarity as they step through the grand gates into Kung Vinters slott.

"Efter en stund kommo de fram till en väldig snöborg, vaktad av två isbjörnar, som nosade helt bekant på Farbror Rimfrost, när han och Olle gingo förbi dem in genom porten."

Beskow’s delicate yet detailed artistry captures the magic of winter, blending nature, fantasy, and Scandinavian folklore. This stunning print is perfect for those who love Nordic mythology, vintage illustrations, and enchanting seasonal decor. A beautiful addition to children's rooms, winter-themed gallery walls, or any space that calls for a touch of timeless charm.
