1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Louis Pasteurin muotokuva, harjoitelma is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A man in a dark suit and bow tie stands near a cluttered desk, holding a small object in his left hand while his right hand rests on a stack of books. The room behind him is dimly lit, with shelves holding jars and a cabinet in the background. The brushstrokes are loose, and the colors are mostly earthy browns and dark greens. This painting looks like a practice piece, not a finished work. The artist focused on capturing the man’s posture and the rough details of the room.
