1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Naismalli, akatemiaharjoitelma is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman standing with one arm resting behind her head. She’s naked except for a light-colored cloth wrapped around her waist. The background is plain and dark, keeping all focus on her. Her skin looks smooth and real, with soft shadows under her arms and along her neck. The artist paid close attention to how light hits her body, making some parts glow slightly. Try looking up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
