From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Läksyn kuulustelu is a 1919 unspecified by Yrjö Ollila, held at Finnish National Gallery.
In this painting, a woman stands beside a seated boy, who sits on a couch with a book in his lap. The woman wears a blue dress with a white grid pattern, while the boy is dressed in a black shirt and shorts. A vase with flowers sits on a table to the left of the boy. The scene is set in a room with a brown couch and a floral-patterned wall hanging. The atmosphere appears somber, with the boy looking down at the book and the woman gazing at him with a serious expression. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures.
