Ellen Trotzig (1878–1949) was a Swedish painter, primarily known for her landscape paintings. She trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and continued her studies in, among other places, Paris. Trotzig was inspired by the Scanian landscape, particularly the area around Österlen, where she often painted atmospheric motifs with soft colors and plays of light. Her works are counted among early 20th-century Swedish art and are characterized by a sense of the stillness and poetry of nature.
