About this work

This painting shows a man wearing a dark, thick coat and a knit hat. His hands are tucked in his pockets, and he looks straight ahead with a serious expression. The brushstrokes are loose, with visible texture and a mix of dark and light blues in the background. The painting’s rough style suggests the artist focused on quick, expressive strokes rather than fine details. The signature in the corner reads "Väinö Kunnas." If you like this style, look up impasto.
