Maggie
1913
From the collection of Järvenpää Art Museum
Maggie is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a woman’s side profile, her head turned slightly away. She wears a bright red hat with a flowery pattern, and her hair is dark and loose. The background is dark and blurry, while her face and neck are softly lit, with warm skin tones. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the hat and hair, giving it a lively, almost sculpted look. The lighting focuses on her face, making it stand out against the shadowy background. This technique is called impasto.
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.
