1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Makaava lapsi, luonnos maalaukseen Jouluaamu is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, depicting Infant, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Albert Edelfelt painted a small child in a white nightshirt standing on a stool. Morning light falls from a window on the left. The child’s bare feet touch cold floorboards. This is just a sketch for a bigger Christmas painting. You can see quick brush strokes and soft edges where Edelfelt worked out the mood. White paint stands out against the muted room. Look up Edelfelt, Albert next.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
