Kehrääjä is a 1902 unspecified by Ada Thilén, held at Finnish National Gallery.
A woman in a red-brown dress sits at a wooden spinning wheel, turning it with both hands. Behind her, a small framed painting hangs on the wall, and sunlight streams through a window, lighting two potted plants on the sill. The floor has a striped rug, and a basket sits near her feet. The spinning wheel was a common tool for making thread before machines took over. The brushstrokes here are loose, almost sketchy in places, giving the scene a quiet, everyday feel.
