Partainen mies, malliharjoitelma is an unspecified by Nils Jakob Olsson Blommér, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man with a long white beard and no shirt. His skin looks weathered, with faint lines on his chest and arms. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The artist focused on the play of light and shadow on his skin, especially around the beard and shoulders. This effect makes the textures look real. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works.
Nils Jakob Olsson Blommér never traveled further than his studio in Stockholm, yet his walls are full of Italian harbors and Tuscan hills.
