About this work

This painting depicts a woman with dark hair, wearing a white top, leaning over a person's arm. The woman appears to be sucking or biting the arm, which is covered in blood. The scene is set against a dark background, with the woman's face and the arm being the main focus of the painting. The use of dark colors and the depiction of blood creates a somber and intense atmosphere. The painting is held at the Ateneum, where you can explore more works by Juho Rissanen.
