unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Eydtkuhnenin tyttö II is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman with a pale face and dark hair, looking straight ahead. She wears a light-colored dress with blue patches on the sleeves. The background is blurry, with greenish-brown shapes that look like trees or bushes. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the painting a rough, almost sketchy feel. The woman’s face is simple but stands out against the messy background. Next, look up technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Helena Sofia (Helene) Schjerfbeck (pronounced ; July 10, 1862 – January 23, 1946) was a Finnish modernist painter known for her realist works and self-portraits, and also for her landscapes and still lifes.
