Portrait of the Artist's Sister Ellen Edelfelt is a 1888 oil by Albert Edelfelt, a Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a young woman with brown hair, dressed in a light-colored Victorian-style dress with a black collar and cuffs. Her hands are clasped together in front of her, and she sits in a chair with her body turned slightly to the right. The background is dark, with what appears to be plants or foliage behind her. The woman's expression is serious, and her gaze is directed straight ahead. The overall mood of the painting is somber and introspective. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting.
