1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Aamupäiväkahvi is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Two women sit at a small table, sipping from cups. One wears a dark dress with a white collar, the other a deep red coat. The table holds a plate, sugar bowl, and a stack of folded napkins. Light spills in from the side, casting a warm glow on their faces. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially in the red coat and the background. It looks like the artist used paint in heavy layers to create texture. This painting is at the Museum of Ethnography.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
