1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kauppaneuvoksetar Anna Sinebrychoffin muotokuva is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A woman in a dark dress sits in a cozy room, holding a red cloth with gold patterns. She wears a high-necked black dress with lace cuffs and a choker necklace. Behind her, a table holds a wooden box and a small framed picture. Big green plants fill the background, and sunlight streams through a window to her left. Her face looks calm but serious, and the brushstrokes on her dress and the table are thick and textured. The light hits her sleeve and the table, making parts of the scene stand out. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
