Aino Sibelius is a 1910 unspecified by Eero Järnefelt, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This watercolor shows Aino Sibelius sitting indoors, reading a book. The light from a window glows on her face and hands. The background stays simple so her calm focus stands out. Eero Järnefelt painted her this way because they were married and he often used family as models. The loose brushwork gives a soft, private feeling to the scene.
