This painting shows a man in a dark coat and light shirt, sitting with his arms crossed. His mustache and serious expression stand out against the loose, sketchy brushstrokes. The background is simple—just a window and a wall with a hint of blue outside. The artist left the date as "E. Järnefelt 18—" in the corner, but the rest is unclear. The style feels quick and rough, like a snapshot of a moment rather than a polished portrait. Next, check out Eero Järnefelt to see how his other works compare.
