Draining the Sap is a 1916 oil by Juho Rissanen, a Realism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting depicts two men in a wooded area, one kneeling and the other standing. The kneeling man is wearing a white shirt and dark pants, while the standing man is dressed in a gray shirt and dark pants. The scene is set against a backdrop of trees and bushes, with the men positioned in the foreground. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the work a sense of energy and movement. The overall effect is one of quiet contemplation, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment between the two men. The painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who use chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth.
