Description

“Tomternaskinen (Opal)”, a postcard with an image by Sven Nordqvist depicting the characters Pettson and Findus, with Findus (the cat) dressed as a Lucia figure (wearing a white dress and crown with a single lit candle and carrying a round tray with a cup of coffee and baked goods.)  They are in a kitchen with green walls, door and cabinetry.  Above the stove, a line is suspended off of which their socks (both Pettsons and Findus') hang to dry.  Image © Sven Nordqvist.  “16343 K.
