Ugglemor lär om skogen, Elsa Beskow, 1910

In this enchanting scene from Tomtebobarnen, Elsa Beskow captures a moment of woodland wisdom as Mother Owl teaches the young forest creatures about nature’s secrets. The gnome children, with their signature red, spotted caps, sit attentively alongside rabbits, squirrels, and birds, all gathered beneath the watchful gaze of the wise owl. Against a backdrop of deep greens and warm earth tones, this idyllic illustration celebrates the beauty of learning from the natural world.

"Men vet du, att den skolan är större än du tror,
Ty alla fågelbarnen de gå hos ugglemor,
Och ekorrbarn och harar och igelkottar små,
De sitta där i rader och höra noga på."

A timeless depiction of nature’s harmony, this artwork is perfect for lovers of vintage children’s illustrations, Scandinavian folklore, and whimsical storytelling. A wonderful addition to a cozy reading nook, nursery, or gallery wall dedicated to classic fairytale art.
