Valle Rosenberg

Valle Rosenberg made quiet, close-up portraits and small landscapes in early 20th-century Finland. His brush caught everyday faces, the young man in Nuoren miehen muotokuva, the seated woman in Istuva nainen (his sister), and a girl with green-tinged hair in a drawing. These works belong to the same calm, realist mood you’ll find in Maisema Korkeasaaresta, a view of Helsinki’s Korkeasaari island.

Look for the green-haired girl’s drawing next; it’s a tender slice of life from the same hand and time.
