"Skiss Medkvinnofigur" (English: "Sketch with Female Figure") is a drawing by John Bauer, a renowned Swedish painter and illustrator best known for his work on the annual Bland Tomtar och Troll (Among Gnomes and Trolls) anthology, a collection of Swedish folklore and fairy tales. Bauer's artistic style is characterized by its mystical, ethereal quality and often features elements of nature intertwined with human and mythical figures, drawing heavily from Nordic folklore.

Born on June 4, 1882, in Jönköping, Bauer was a prominent figure in early 20th-century Swedish art. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm and traveled extensively throughout Europe, which influenced his artistic development. Bauer's illustrations are celebrated for their imaginative landscapes and enchanting characters, rendered with a soft, moody palette that captures the enchantment and mystery of the Scandinavian wilderness.

"Skiss Medkvinnofigur" represents Bauer's typical subject matter, focusing on a female figure that may be a representation of a fairy or a mythical being, a common motif in his oeuvre. The sketch likely served as a preparatory work for one of his more finished pieces, providing insight into his creative process. Bauer's sketches are known for their fluid lines and attention to detail, often capturing the grace and movement of his subjects with a sense of immediacy and spontaneity.

Unfortunately, Bauer's life and career were cut short when he died in a tragic boating accident at the age of 36, along with his wife Ester and their son Bengt. Despite his brief career, Bauer's work has left a lasting impact on Swedish art and culture, influencing subsequent generations of illustrators and fantasy artists worldwide.

As a sketch, "Skiss Medkvinnofigur" may not be as widely recognized as Bauer's finished illustrations, but it remains a valuable piece of his artistic legacy, offering a glimpse into the early stages of his creative vision. The drawing is preserved in the collections of a museum or private collector, contributing to the understanding of Bauer's work and the broader context of Swedish art history during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
