Peter Eskilsson (1820–1872), 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.
