unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Ompelijatar, puolivartalokuva (Työläisnainen) is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, depicting Sitting, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a person sitting sideways, wearing a dark dress and a large hat. Their face is pale with dark shadows under the eyes, and the background is a plain, warm color. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, especially on the hat and chair. The artist used quick, sketchy strokes to capture the person’s pose and clothing. The face looks tired or serious, with a simple, unidealized style. Look up Schjerfbeck, Helene to see more of her work.
