Erik Johan Löfgren is an artist. 13 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Erik Johan Löfgren painted quiet portraits of mid-1800s Finland. His brush captured Magnus von Wright, a Finnish naturalist, H. Rosenberg in his admiral’s coat, and Robert von Trapp in sober official dress. Another canvas shows a young Italian drummer girl in a sunlit room.
