Omakuva is a 1922 unspecified by Väinö Kunnas, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting depicts a man in a white coat and blue shirt, with a purple tie. He has short dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The background is a mix of light blue and white, with a dark area on the left side. The overall style is realistic, with attention to detail in the subject's facial features and clothing. The painting is done in a straightforward manner, with no apparent attempt to convey a specific emotion or message. The subject's expression is neutral, and the background is simple and unadorned. The artist's use of color is subdued, with a focus on earth tones and pastels. The artist, Väinö Kunnas, is known for his portraits and landscapes, and this painting is a good example of his work.
