Knut Ekwall
Knut Ekwall (3 April 1843 in Säby (Småland province), Sweden – 4 April 1912 in Säby), was a Swedish painter.
Ekwall studied from 1860-1866 at the Academy of Arts in Stockholm, with emphasis on xylography (designing woodcut printing blocks) and drawing.
He became a pupil of the painter Ludwig Knaus in Berlin.
In 1870, Ekwall established himself as an artist in Munich in Germany and later worked in Leipzig.
His works during this period were primarily for magazine illustrations, and were reproduced as engravings.
He returned to Sweden and died there at the age of 69.
