1922
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Omakuva hattu päässä is a 1922 unspecified by Väinö Kunnas, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a man wearing a hat, with his face and upper body visible. He is dressed in a dark blue jacket over a red shirt, and his hat is a deep purple color. The background of the painting is a light blue hue. The man's facial expression is neutral, and his gaze is directed straight ahead. His features are rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the shape of his eyes, nose, and mouth. The overall effect of the painting is one of quiet contemplation, as if the subject is lost in thought. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that emphasizes contrasts between light and dark, explore the works of Kunnas, Väinö.
Väinö Ilmari Kunnas (12 April 1896 in Vyborg – 10 February 1929 in Helsinki) was a Finnish Expressionist painter.
