"Tomte Med Skattkista" (Gnome with Treasure Chest) is a painting by the Swedish artist August Malmström (1829–1901), known for his works that often depict fairy tale scenes, folklore, and historical subjects.

The painting "Tomte Med Skattkista" portrays a gnome or 'tomte', a creature from Scandinavian folklore traditionally associated with the winter solstice and Christmas season. The tomte is depicted with a treasure chest, suggesting themes of wealth, secrecy, and the guarding of treasures, which are common attributes associated with these mythical beings in folklore. Gnomes like the one in Malmström's painting are often characterized as protectors of the household and farmstead, and they are believed to bring good luck.

"Tomte Med Skattkista" is no exception, as it invites viewers into a magical world where the lines between reality and myth blur. The painting is a testament to Malmström's skill in bringing to life the rich tapestry of Swedish legends and his contribution to the preservation of cultural narratives through art.
