Utsal, Salme (1907 -1995).

The original drawing by S. Ustal is a magnificent piece of artistry that offers a glimpse into the enchanting world of “Children from the Village of Aru.” Illustrated for Alida Dahlberg’s renowned book in 1944, this ink on paper masterpiece measures 22.5 x 16.1. It’s meticulously signed by Salme Ustal on the lower right and on the back of each sheet, providing a connection to the text of the book, including the name and size. It’s more than a drawing; it’s a piece of literary history captured by one of the 20th century’s prominent artists.
