Astri Taube

[1] She learned sculpture from her father and from noted Swedish sculptor Carl Milles.

As a portrait sculptor, Taube had "virtuoso skill",[3] portraying children, clowns, and her husband Evert.

[4] Taube created tin candlesticks, seal stamps, paperweights, cigarette boxes, and inkwells.

[3] During her marriage, Taube concentrated on being a helper and muse to her husband, to the detriment of her artistic career.
