Taiteilija Aukusti Uotila, harjoitelma teokseen Kaarle-herttua herjaa Klaus Flemingin ruumista is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a young man in profile, wearing a dark suit and a light collar. His hair is short and light brown, and he’s looking off to the side. The background is plain and dark, making his face stand out. The artist wrote the sitter’s name—Augustus Uotila—and his age (19) in Latin on the painting. The brushwork is smooth but has some visible strokes, especially on his collar. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in portraits.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
