The illustration shown with me, and many other images are available on magnets and postcards from my shop.  ⁣https://mistysworldboutique.etsy.com . Purchases may give me rewards. ⁣ Here is a 1915 drawing from Swedish illustrator John Bauer. It shows a prince and a tomte.⁣ ⁣ A tomte is a little creature from Nordic folklore. Depending on where you're at in the Nordic lands, they may also be called tonttu or nisse.⁣ ⁣ They seem to have taken their fashion inspiration from garden gnomes, as they normally sport white beards and wear conical or knit caps in red or some other bright color. From the description we can assume that the tomte is the one on the right.⁣ ⁣ They're solitary, domestic spirits who secretly protect farmsteads, and they'll even help with the chores. Just like old people, they value tradition and they demand respect. If treated well, they'll protect the homestead and animals from all kinds of evil and misfortune .... well, except for taxes.⁣ ⁣ But just like many people in modern Western society, they're easily offended and they have short tempers. If anyone offends one of these little spirits, they'll steal things, break things or turn things upside down.💥 I think I may have some tomte blood in me.🤔😸⁣ ⁣ Long ago, Scandinavian farms were very isolated, and during the long, dark Northern winters, the tomte was a companion to keep solitude at bay, even if he wasn't really seen. When country folk moved to the cities, they brought their tomte with them. They were kind of a valuable asset. A home without one could not thrive and the family may be reduced to poverty.⁣ ⁣ Tomtar (plural of tomte) didn't ask for much in return for their services, just respect, trust and on Christmas Eve, a bowl of julgröt with butter. 🥣🧈 That's a kind of porridge. I've never had it, but I assume it must be like a liquid cat treat.😋 ⁣ ⁣ Folktales say that tomtar will steal from neighbors to increase the prosperity of their own homes. If that's true, there may be some of these tomtar living in neighborhoods all across America. I think they're the "Porch Pirates" we keep hearing about.☠️🏴‍☠️📦📦

Recently I presented an illustration by Swedish artist John Bauer for the story, "Leap the Elk & Little Princess Tuvstarr" (or Princess Cottongrass). It was the 5th in a series of 6 illustrations that Bauer did for that story. Since I didn't present the end of the story, I'll do so here today with the last illustration. ⁣⁣

So, Previously on "Princess Tuvstarr," the princess as a young girl was hanging around the castle grounds wearing her crown & a beautiful dress. She saw an elk and asked it to take her out into the world to experience life. The elk thought it unwise as the world was a cruel place, but the girl persisted, saying that she wanted to share the love she had with the world.

⁣⁣So they went, and soon her crown & dress had been stolen, leaving her with just a necklace with a golden heart that her mother had given her on the day she was born. As she gazed into a pond deep in the forest, the necklace broke and the heart sank out of sight.⁣⁣

So this is where we left off, in the drawing on the left. The story continues with the princess not wanting to leave her golden heart. The elk tells her that, if she looks for just one thing, she'll forget everything else. But the girl won't leave and she sits on the bank. ⁣⁣The elk lingers a while, but when she no longer notices him, he slips off into the forest.⁣⁣

Many years pass and still the princess sits looking into the water for her lost heart. Sometimes the elk comes by, but she's under the spell of the pool and she won't follow him. The title of the picture on the right is, "Still Princess Tuvstarr sits and looks wonderingly into the water."⁣⁣

But this brings up questions. How did she get a new dress that fit? How does she wash her hair? What does she eat? Does she shave her legs? ⁣⁣

Unless, perhaps, the whole thing is allegorical. Is the heart just an allegory for innocence, which she lost when she left the protection of childhood innocence and became aware of what the world is really like? If so, do many adults not also sit on the banks of such ponds staring wonderingly into the water for their own lost hearts?⁣⁣

These images & others available on magnets & postcards in my shop. Link below:

• John Bauer # 4 • Trolls & Tuvstarr • . This was a little bit of a challenge, to get the details right but not too dark.. Bauers art is very dark and I wanted my series and interpretations to be a little brighter. A little more like John Bauer meets Tove Jansson. So yeah, this piece was a difficult one! But after some cursing and a lot of coffee later it turned out great! And fit right into the series! . I really REALLY love doing this series. I have had it in my mind for so long.. But never got it down on paper. I guess it’s a little bit scary to interpret one of your favorite artists. But I’m so so happy I finally did it! . Swipe to see Bauers piece → . And after I finish the 5th one I’m working on right now, I’m going to see if I can show you guys some commissions I’m working on! . . . . . . . . . . .
