This article is about a person whose name includes a patronymic. The article properly refers to the person by their given name, Katarina, and not as Erlandsdotter.

Daughter of the gardener Erland Hallberg and Anna Maria Kristoffersdotter and the sister of Sven Erlandsson (1768–1853) and Lisa Erlandsdotter (1771–1848); the three siblings all became known as artists, and are counted among the most prominent within their craft in 18th-century Sweden.[2] Katarina made bonadsmålning, a Swedish art form, which is a type of painted tapestry of textile used for decoration, largely among the peasantry.

Katarina lived her entire life in the countryside at Mårdaklev in Älvsborgs län.
