was an Estonian sculptor.
Eskel studied at the Tallinn State Institute of Applied Arts (TRTKI), but did not receive a graduation certificate for political reasons. She worked as a freelance artist all his life and was a member of the Estonian Artists Union. Juta Eskel's creations are the chamotte decorative sculpture "Kolhoosineiu" (1964, located in Lembitu Park after restoration), the full figure of Miina Härma in Tartu (1984) in front of the gymnasium bearing her name, and the commemorative plaque of Elfriede Lender, the founder of the girls' gymnasium, in the Central Russian Gymnasium. Juta Eskel's monumental sculptures in Finland supporting the Estonian-Finnish cultural bridge are also well-known. Juta Eskel often used fireclay and stylized plastic, which came into fashion in the 1960s, to create figures of children and dancers.
Today, the best of Juta Eskel's free creations can be found mainly in the Estonian Art Museum and the Tartu Art Museum, as well as in the homes of family members.
