Ossian Josef David Elgström is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at ethnographic museum.

Swedish painter Ossian Elgström spent years sketching Sápmi’s reindeer herders with blunt charcoal before switching to oil, then painting their faces so real they seem to breathe. He kept one boot scuffed with lichen from his walks in Jokkmokk, where winter lasts longer than the daylight. For a quick taste of his work, look up The Reindeer Thief (1931), a canvas where a single figure carries a stolen calf across snow so thick you can smell the frozen pine.
