From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Naisen pää is an unspecified by Charles-François-Prosper Guérin, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman with a big, curly brown hat tilted slightly to the side. She’s wearing a light-colored dress with a dark collar, and her hands are resting near her chin. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially in her hair and the background, which has a mix of green and earthy tones. The signature in the corner reads "Charles Guérin," and the painting feels lively because of the bold strokes. The way the light hits her face makes it stand out against the darker background. If you like this style, look up impasto next—it’s the technique of painting thick layers of paint.
Charles-François-Prosper Guérin (1875 in Sens – 1939) was a French Post-Impressionist painter.
