Elisabeth Palm (27 July 1756 – 27 June 1789)[a][b] was a Swedish etcher and printmaker.

Early life

Elisabeth Palm was born in the Ottoman Empire, where her father, Asmund Palm, served as a merchant and representative for the Swedish Levant Company, based in Smyrna and Constantinople.[1] Her mother was Eva van Bruyn, a member of the Dutch nobility.[2] Her sister, Maria Palm-Hebbe (nicknamed 'Mimica'), was also an artist, and her brother, Gustaf Palm, was a supercargo to the Swedish East India Company.[3]

Work

Palm studied art under Jacob Gillberg in 1770.[5] She is represented in the National Museum of Sweden by two etchings.[6]

Personal life

In March 1776, Elisabeth Palm married the businessman Johan Schön.[1] They had several children, including Hedvig Elisabeth, Maria Charlotta, and Gustava Adelaide Schön.[7]

Palm died at Seglingsbergs bruk in June 1789 of tuberculosis.[8]
