Asetelma is an unspecified by William Lönnberg, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a simple setup: a blue teapot with a spout and handle sits next to a matching cup and saucer. On a small plate, two bright yellow lemons rest under a dark background. The colors are mostly cool blues and blacks, with the lemons standing out as the only warm spot. The artist used thick brushstrokes, especially on the teapot, giving it a textured look. The dark background makes the objects pop, focusing your eye right on them. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
