Omakuva is an unspecified by Juho Salminen, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This is a painted portrait of a young man. He’s looking off to the side, holding a pipe in his right hand. The background is blurry, with soft colors that fade into gray. His shirt is light with rolled-up sleeves, and there’s a hint of a dark collar underneath. The brushstrokes are loose, especially in the background, making the face stand out. The lighting on his face is uneven—some parts are brighter, others darker. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
Finnish painter Juho Salminen made quiet, detailed pictures of everyday life in the early 1900s.
