Carl Eneas Sjöstrand

Carl Eneas Sjöstrand (11 September 1828 – 14 February 1906) was a Swedish sculptor who worked for over 40 years in the Grand Duchy of Finland.

He was the son of painter Carl Johan Sjöstrand (1789–1857) and his wife Johanna Sofia Morberg.

In the 1850s, he studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and as a private student with sculptor Herman Wilhelm Bissen (1798–1868).

[3] Sjöstrand first arrived in Finland in the autumn of 1856 where he worked on the statue of Henrik Gabriel Porthan (1739–1804) in Turku.

After working in Stockholm in 1861–1862, in 1863 Sjöstrand was offered a position as instructor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki by Fredrik Cygnaeus (1807–1881).
