Jean Sibeliuksen muotokuva is an unspecified by Antti Favén, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in a black suit and white shirt, sitting in a chair with one arm resting on the back. His bow tie is neatly tied, and he looks directly at you with a calm expression. The background has soft, light colors with a window or wall that’s painted in loose, quick brushstrokes. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow, especially on the man’s face and suit. The paint is thick in some spots, giving it a textured look. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Antti Favén kept a tiny studio above a Helsinki bakery, where the smell of fresh rye bread mixed with turpentine.
