Uno Troili

Gustaf Uno Troili (16 January 1815 – 31 August 1875) was a Swedish portrait painter and musician.

He was a member of the priestly Troilius [sv] family with a lineage dating back to the 16th century.

He became a full-time student in 1835 and was introduced to the local intelligentsia at the home of his uncle, the poet and philosopher Erik Gustaf Geijer.

While in service, he studied with his cousin, Captain Henrik Lilljebjörn [sv] (1797–1875), a part-time painter of little note.

He also worked with then "överstelöjtnant", Olof Johan Södermark, who became a well known portrait painter and sculptor.
