Kirjailija ja kuvataiteilija Tove Jansson is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting Writer, held at Finnish Heritage Agency.
You see a pencil drawing of a woman in Helsinki, December 1954. The artist used fine lines to show her face and hair. It looks like a quick sketch, not a polished portrait. This is Tove Jansson—yes, the Moomins creator. She’s holding a cigarette. The drawing feels alive, like it was done fast while she talked. Next time you’re in Helsinki, look for the Museum of Ethnography to see more of her work.
