"Tomtar och Katt" (English: "Gnomes and Cat") is a renowned watercolor illustration by the Swedish artist John Bauer, best known for his work on the annual anthology "Bland Tomtar och Troll" (Among Gnomes and Trolls). Bauer's enchanting and evocative imagery has made a significant impact on the visual representation of Scandinavian folklore and fairy tales. Created in the early 20th century, "Tomtar och Katt" depicts a whimsical scene consistent with Bauer's signature style, featuring small, gnome-like creatures interacting with a cat in a mystical forest setting.

John Bauer (1882–1918) was a prolific artist whose illustrations often included elements of the natural world intertwined with mythological creatures drawn from Nordic folklore. His artistic style is characterized by a moody and mystical quality, with a distinctive use of light and shadow that brings a sense of depth and enchantment to his work. "Tomtar och Katt" is no exception, showcasing Bauer's ability to blend the fantastical with the bucolic in a manner that is both captivating and endearing.

The illustration is emblematic of Bauer's broader body of work, which has left a lasting legacy in the realm of fantasy art. His illustrations for "Bland Tomtar och Troll," produced between 1907 and 1915, are particularly celebrated and have contributed to the popular image of creatures such as tomtar (gnomes or small spirits associated with the winter holiday season in Scandinavian folklore) in the cultural imagination.

"Tomtar och Katt" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and cultural significance, reflecting the enduring appeal of Bauer's interpretation of Scandinavian folklore. The piece is often cited in discussions of Bauer's influence on later fantasy artists and remains a beloved example of his contribution to the genre.
