unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Eero Järnefeltin muotokuva is an unspecified by Gunnar Berndtson, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A man in a dark suit sits hunched over, sketching on a small pad. His beard is neatly trimmed, and his focus is intense. The background is blurry, but you can make out a dark chair and a soft, warm wall. The artist’s signature is tucked in the corner—G. Berndtson. The brushstrokes are loose, almost hurried, as if he’s working fast. Look up *chiaroscuro* next to see how light and shadow create depth like this.
Gunnar Fredrik Berndtson (24 October 1854, Helsinki – 9 April 1895, Helsinki) was a painter from the Grand Duchy of Finland who was noted for his attention to realistic detail.
