unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Ennustaja (Nainen keltaisessa leningissä) is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman with her eyes closed, wearing a dark head covering. Her face is simple, with soft shadows under her eyes and a calm expression. The background is mostly a warm orange, and her dress is pale with a few yellow shapes that look like buttons or folds. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, especially on her clothing. The artist didn’t focus on tiny details—just the big shapes and colors. Next, look up Schjerfbeck, Helene to see more of her work.
