Orpo is an unspecified by Albert Gebhard, depicting Sleep, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a person lying on their side, half-covered by a blanket, in a dim room. The floor is dark wood, and there’s a wooden bucket nearby. A pile of clothes sits in the corner, and the light falls mostly on the person’s face and arms. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially on the blanket and clothes, giving the scene a textured look. The lighting is stark—shadows dominate, but the face glows softly. Try looking up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
