unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Taiteilija Magnus Enckellin muotokuva is an unspecified by Alfred William Finch, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a man in profile, looking slightly downward. He has short dark hair, a mustache, and is wearing a dark jacket over a white collar. The background is a mix of yellow, green, and orange brushstrokes that feel loose and quick. The brushwork is thick in places, giving the painting texture. The lighting focuses on his face, leaving the background blurred. Look up *impasto* next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Alfred William (Willy) Finch (1854 –1930) was a ceramist and painter in the pointillist and Neo-Impressionist style. Born in Brussels to British parents, he spent most of his creative life in Finland.
