Donated by ANC subscriber and Redding native Candace Corbin in memory of her mother, Nadine Tucker, this large, framed winter print of ‘The Tomten’ behind glass was one of Nadine’s favorites, especially during Christmastime, when she would deck out her entire home for the holidays.
Corbin also donated a companion 1979 paperback book, “The Tomten” adapted by Astric Lindgren from a poem by Viktor Rydberg, illustrated by Harald Wiberg.
Tucker is no longer alive, but her legacy lives on via her north-state community service, and her art collections, such as this piece, and its companion paperback book, ‘The Tomten’ – a beloved Swedish/Scandinavian Christmas story.
Thank you, Candace Corbin, for this thoughtful donation in memory of your mother.
‘The Tomten” framed behind glass print is 19-and-1/4 inches by 17-and-1/4 inches.
This paperback book is a companion to “The Tomten” print.
Combined value: $170
Opening bid for both: $110
