Hos ugglemor i eken, Elsa Beskow, 1910

This enchanting illustration from Tomtebobarnen captures a tender moment as the gnome children, guided by their mother, visit the wise owl who resides in the oak tree. The soft watercolor tones and delicate details evoke a sense of warmth and curiosity as the little ones gather in quiet reverence before their teacher in the treetops. Their signature red, toadstool-like caps stand out against the muted hues of the autumn leaves, creating a striking contrast that enhances the fairytale-like atmosphere.

"Nu ska vi noga lyssna, ty ugglemor är klok,
Hon känner hela världen och talar som en bok."

A timeless depiction of wisdom and wonder, this vintage artwork is perfect for those who appreciate classic Scandinavian illustrations and the nostalgic charm of Elsa Beskow’s storytelling. A beautiful piece for a nursery, reading nook, or any space that celebrates folklore and nature’s magic.
