Ester ”Essi” Renvall (née Lähde; 3 October 1911 Oulu, Finland – 18 October 1979 Helsinki, Finland) was a Finnish sculptor. She studied in Suomen Taideyhdistyksen piirustuskoulu 1930–1932. Her works were in public exhibition for the first time in 1933.[1]
Her best known works include busts of women and children. She also made portraits of famous people, including presidents Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg, Risto Ryti, J.K. Paasikivi and Urho Kekkonen.[2]
Renvall was one of the first female sculptors in Finland to get commissioned public works, and to make a living for herself and her family by her artistic work. Publishing house WSOY commissioned a series of busts of their leading writers, such as Mika Waltari and Saima Harmaja.[3]
