unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Taalalaisväkeä is a 1870 unspecified by Karl Jansson, held at Finnish National Gallery.
Two people sit at a small wooden table in a dim room. The woman holds a piece of cloth, sewing carefully. The man watches her, wearing a dark hat and a simple coat. A cat curls up on the floor nearby. The walls are rough, with a window letting in a little light. The woman’s bright red headscarf stands out against the dark room. Her green skirt and the man’s plain clothes suggest everyday life, not fancy dress. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Karl Emanuel Jansson (7 July 1846, in Finström – 1 June 1874, in Jomala) was a Finnish painter, primarily of genre scenes.
