S. Wettenhovi-Aspan muotokuva is an unspecified by Antti Favén, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man’s face and shoulders against a dark background. His dark hair is slicked back, and he has a thick mustache. The collar of his white shirt is visible, but the rest of his clothing is blurred. The brushstrokes are loose, especially on his face and neck. The artist left the background almost black, which makes the man’s face stand out sharply. His expression is serious, with a slight frown. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other paintings.
Antti Favén kept a tiny studio above a Helsinki bakery, where the smell of fresh rye bread mixed with turpentine.
