1913
From the collection of Järvenpää Art Museum
Järvö -luonnos Isorysä teokseen is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, depicting Fishing, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a small wooden boat on calm water. Four people sit inside—two adults and two children. The adults wear simple clothes in muted tones, while one child has a bright red hat. The boat looks old, with patches and a worn seat. The water is painted in soft, blurred strokes. The artist used loose, quick brushwork to sketch the scene. The colors are flat and pale, with no deep shadows. Next, check out Venny Soldan-Brofeldt for more of her work.
