Pukukuva I is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting, Pukukuva I, is an interior scene that features a woman sitting on the left side of the canvas. She is wearing a white dress and has her hair pulled back. The woman is looking to her right, and her face is blurred. In the background, there is a table with an orange ball on it. The room is dimly lit, with shadows cast on the walls. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. The use of muted colors and soft lighting creates a sense of calmness, while the woman's blurred face adds a sense of mystery.
