Who was Helena Arnell?
Helena Arnell-Gezelius was one of the first Finnish painters in Finland.

She was the daughter of a Swedish nobleman Jonas Lauréntii Arnell and Helena Adlerbergref. In 1720 she married Johan Nepos Gezelius – doctor of theology and bishop of Porvoo. They had a son named Johan Gezelius.
After her husband died in 1733, Helena moved to Sauvo.
