unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Tytön pää, Pikku Anna is an unspecified by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A girl with light brown hair stands in front of a wooden bookshelf. She’s wearing a simple white dress and a dark blue headband. Behind her, shelves hold books and a small framed picture. The light hits her face, leaving the rest of the room in shadow. Her calm expression stands out against the dark background. The artist used light and shadow to make her face pop, almost like a spotlight. Try looking up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other paintings.
Akseli Gallen-Kallela (born Axel Waldemar Gallén; 26 April 1865 – 7 March 1931) was a Finnish painter and a leading figure of Finnish romantic nationalism around the turn of the 20th century.
