Kilian Christoffer Zoll (20 September 1818 – 9 November 1860) was a Swedish painter, graphic artist and illustrator in the style of the Düsseldorf School.

From 1836 to 1849, he studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts with Fredric Westin, Per Krafft and Carl Johan Fahlcrantz, but found it necessary to suspend his work there on several occasions so he could paint and sell portraits to support his education.

[3] [4] [5] While at the Academy, he focused on history painting but, soon after, displayed a preference for scenes from folk life.

In pursuit of this goal, from the autumn of 1845 to the spring of 1846 he was enrolled at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, where he studied with Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg and was inspired by the lectures of Niels Laurits Høyen.

[10] In 1858, he married Henriette Gustava Horn af Rantzien, who belonged to an old noble family.
