1913
From the collection of Järvenpää Art Museum
Antti piirtää hiekassa is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
A girl with light hair is bent over a piece of paper, drawing with a pencil. She wears a dark hat with a blue ribbon and a simple black dress. The colors are soft—warm yellows and pinks in her face, muted grays in her clothes and the background. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with loose brushstrokes that leave some areas a little blurry. The focus is on her hands and the paper, not the details around her. Next, check out impasto—it’s a technique where paint is laid on thick, almost like you can see the brushstrokes.
Wendla Irene Soldan-Brofeldt, known as Venny (2 November 1863, Helsinki – 10 October 1945, Lohja) was a Finnish painter, illustrator, graphic artist, wood sculptor and jewelry designer.
