Puunhakkaaja
1904
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Puunhakkaaja is a 1904 by Charles Angrand, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This sketch shows a person with a shovel, bending over to chop wood. The background is blurry, with soft green and blue strokes. Two yellow birds sit on a fence in the distance. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to show movement and texture. The woodpile and fence add a simple, everyday scene. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
Charles Angrand was a French artist who gained renown for his Neo-Impressionist paintings and drawings. He was an important member of the Parisian avant-garde art scene in the late 1880s and early 1890s.
