Kampaava nainen is an unspecified by Joseph Alanen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman wrapped in a dark shawl, her face half-lit by a bright orange scarf. The background is dark and blurry, making her stand out. Her expression looks tired or worried, with a slight frown and a hand resting on her chin. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured, almost sketchy feel. The light on her scarf contrasts sharply with the shadows around her face. Look up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Joseph Alanen (1885–1920) was an artist, born in Tampere.
