About this work

This painting shows a man in a dark hat and jacket, standing outdoors. His face is serious, with a slight smile. Behind him, a wooden fence and a train car are visible, along with a tree-covered hill. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting texture. The word "Laskumies" is written in the corner—it’s Finnish for "woodsman." Look up Gallen-Kallela, Akseli next to see more of his work.
