Borghild Rud

Borghild Rud (20 March 1910 – 25 June 1999) was a Norwegian artist and illustrator.

She attended the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry where she trained under Eivind Nielsen from 1925 to 1926 and with Halfdan Strøm and Jean Heiberg from 1926 until 1930.

She provided illustrates for books including Haugtussa by Arne Garborg and Markens gröda by Knut Hamsun.

She is particularly familiar with the drawings of Alf Prøysen's literary character Mrs. Pepperpot (Teskjekjerringa).

She made illustrations for over 800 of his texts, including all but one of his "stubben" (short works of prose) in Arbeidermagasinet.
