Adolf Ulric Wertmüller

Adolf Ulric Wertmüller is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Wertmüller kept a pet monkey in his Paris studio who once stole his paintbrushes mid-sketch. He painted Beata Charlotta Eckerman, a famous singer, lounging in a sunlit room, her red dress spilling across the chair like a dropped ribbon. Look for the little blue teacup on the table, he hid tiny details like that everywhere.

If you like this one, tap his Miehen muotokuva next; it’s a quiet study of light on a man’s face, no drama, just good paint.
