Who was Peter Eskilsson?
Peter Eskilsson, a Swedish genre painter, was born in the Billeberga parish, Schonen. He was at first an under-officer in the Göta artillery regiment, and then a book-keeper at Göteborg; but by the assistance of a friend he was enabled in 1853 to go to Düsseldorf, where he studied under Tidemand. In 1869 he was compelled for a time to become a photographer at Stockholm, but he afterwards illustrated Bellman, depicting the Swedish popular life with great humour. He became an associate of the Academy in 1866, and died at Bremö, near Sigtuna, in 1872.
