About Erik Ersson
Lived 1730 – 1800. Erik Ersson was a Swedish decorative painter.
Erik "Snickarmålarn" Ersson (1730–1800) was a decorative painter from Delsbo socken.
Ersson grew up at the Snickars farmhouse in Källeräng village in Delsbo socken. Ersson married Margta Jonsdotter from Kila in 1752. He also became the brother-in-law of his colleague Carl Roth, after Roth had married Ersson's sister Kerstin Ersdotter. Like Reuter, Ersson would usually sign his work. He was active in the Dellen and Arbrå areas. Several farmhouses in Hälsingland have been decorated by Ersson, such as Bjuråkers forngård and Delsbo Forngård. Some of his works are preserved in the collections of the Hälsinglands museum, including a completely preserved decorated room from Forsa socken, originally part of the Mickels-farmhouse in Nansta.
