Ellen Roosval von Hallwyl was a Swedish painter, sculptor and composer, and the daughter of Count Walther and Countess Wilhelmina von Hallwyl.
Many of Ellen's sculptures are found in the Hallwyl Collection in Stockholm, which follow references to modernism and religious stories. This capital (Kristus i Dödsriket), for instance, reads a narrative on each side showing Christ descending into the Realm of the Dead on Easter Eve to release the lost souls.
The capital is built like a castle. Christ is seen surrounded by a radiant mandorla, depicted as a glorious muscular young man whose arms embrace the corner tower of the castle. He is depicted in close combat with the dragon; the ruler of the castle and the realm of the dead
