Kotte med nyfikna vänner, Elsa Beskow, 1932
In this beautifully detailed illustration from Solägget, Elsa Beskow brings the forest to life with a gathering of curious woodland creatures. The little fairy, accompanied by Kotte and his friend Kurre the squirrel, presents the mysterious solägget to an intrigued audience of frogs, a snail, a lizard, and the wise old owl peering from the branches above. Meanwhile, the cautious gnome Krokrot arrives, tapping his staff as he investigates the unusual find.
"Tänk om det kläcks ur snart och vi får en egen sol, som skiner jämt här i skogen, sa älvan."
Beskow’s signature watercolor style captures the magic of nature and fairytale storytelling in perfect harmony. This whimsical print is ideal for those who love vintage children’s book illustrations, Nordic folklore, and enchanting woodland scenes. A charming addition to a nursery, a cozy reading nook, or a nature-inspired gallery wall.
