Berta Edelfeltin muotokuva is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This is a portrait of a young girl with short, straight hair. She’s wearing a simple white dress with short sleeves and stands against a dark background. Her face is serious, with a neutral expression and a slight frown. The painting looks unfinished in places, especially around her hair and shoulders. The artist left brushstrokes visible, giving it a rough, textured feel. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
