1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Omakuva is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a young man in a dark suit and white shirt. His hair is neatly combed, and he’s looking straight ahead with a serious expression. The background is mostly dark, with a hint of greenery on the right side. The artist signed it in the corner, but the name isn’t easy to read. The brushstrokes are smooth, especially on his face, giving it a soft, almost glowing look. Next, check out the technique: sfumato to see how artists like this create smooth transitions in their work.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
