Pieni kukka-asetelma is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a simple still life of flowers and fruit. Bright red peaches sit in the bottom left, their glossy surfaces catching light. Above them, white and pink flowers with dark centers spill over a rough, textured background. Some petals look almost translucent, while others blend into the warm, earthy tones around them. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the painting a lively, almost rough texture. The colors feel fresh but slightly faded, like sunlight filtering through leaves. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
