unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Paavi Innocentius X, kopio Velasquezin mukaan is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a serious-looking man in profile. He’s wearing a bright red hat and a ruffled white collar. The background is plain and dark, so his face stands out. The brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving the painting a rough texture. This style makes the colors feel warm and alive, especially the red of his hat. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how artists use light and shadow 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.
