Anoppini
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Anoppini is an unspecified by Wilho Sjöström, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows an older woman sitting in a wicker chair, knitting or holding a small object. She’s dressed in a long dark skirt, a purple shawl over her shoulders, and a green top. Behind her, a window lets in soft light, and the walls are painted in muted tones with a few pieces of furniture visible. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a textured look. The colors are bright in some spots but also blended in others, creating a warm, lived-in feel. This style is an example of impasto.
