1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Larin Paraske laulaa itkuvirsiä is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows an older man with a red cap and a light-colored shirt. He’s leaning on a wooden surface, looking down with a serious expression. The background is dim, with a dark window frame and shelves behind him. The red cap stands out against his pale face, making his wrinkles and tired look more noticeable. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, especially on his cap and shirt. 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.
