1889
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Taiteilijan vaimo ja Emilia von Etter parvekkeella Cannesissa is a 1889 unspecified by Albert Edelfelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Two people stand on a balcony overlooking a beach and deep blue water. The woman on the left wears a light blue dress and holds a small object in her hands. The man leans on the railing, dressed in a dark jacket and lighter pants. A vase with flowers sits on the ledge between them, and the sky behind them is soft and cloudy. The brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, giving the scene a quick, lively feel. The light hits the woman’s dress and the man’s face, making them stand out against the softer background. Look up *impasto* to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (21 July 1854 – 18 August 1905) was a Finnish painter noted for his naturalistic style and Realist approach to art.
