About this work

This painting shows three figures with their heads close together. The figure on the left is mostly out of view, but you can see the side of their face and some of their hair. The middle figure has dark hair and looks down. The figure on the right has lighter hair and looks up. They all wear loose, light-colored clothing. The background is a light color. The figures are painted in a style that looks like they are in the shadows. This makes their features a bit hard to see clearly. The overall effect is one of quiet, gentle movements. If you like this style of painting, you might want to look up more works by artist Schjerfbeck, Helene.
