1913
From the collection of Järvenpää Art Museum
Nuorukainen (Antti Aho) is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a person standing outdoors, their back to us. They’re wearing a light-colored shirt and shorts, with one arm resting on a tree trunk. The background is green and blurry, like a forest or garden, with splashes of red and orange in their hair and shirt. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, giving the painting a textured look. It feels like the artist was in a hurry—or maybe just painting how they saw things, without smoothing everything out. This style reminds you of 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.
