Rannalla is a 1913 by Venny Soldan-Brofeldt, held at Järvenpää Art Museum.
This painting shows a person sitting on the ground, wrapped in a blanket or cloth. The colors are mostly earthy—browns, greens, and soft pinks—with a white head covering peeking out. The background is blurry, like a field or forest, and the brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving it a rough, textured look. The artist used thick paint in places, which makes the surface feel almost three-dimensional. This technique is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on so heavily you can almost see it piled up. If you like this style, look up impasto to see more paintings with bold, textured brushwork.
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.
