unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Punatäpläinen omakuva is an unspecified by Helene Schjerfbeck, held at Finnish National Gallery.
The painting depicts a person with a black shirt and a cigarette in their mouth. The person's face is blurred, and their hair is light-colored. The background is a mix of light and dark colors. The painting has a loose, expressive style, with visible brushstrokes and a focus on capturing the subject's mood rather than their exact likeness. The use of a cigarette as a prop adds a sense of informality and intimacy to the portrait. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Schjerfbeck, Helene.
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.
