Women Outside the Church at Ruokolahti is a 1894 oil by Albert Edelfelt, a Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a group of women gathered outside a church. They're all dressed in long skirts and headscarves, and they seem to be chatting with each other. The church is made of stone and has a simple design. The artist has used a lot of earthy tones in the painting, like browns and greens, which gives it a natural feel. The women are all different ages, and they're all dressed in different ways, which suggests that they're from different backgrounds.
