Laihian kirkkoherra Samuel Wacklinin rouva Elisabeth Björman is an unspecified by Isak Wacklin, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a woman in a dark, plain background. She wears a light-colored dress with a deep neckline and lace trim. A black shawl drapes over her shoulders, and she has a simple bow at her throat. Her hair is pulled back, and she looks straight ahead with a calm expression. The dark background makes her face stand out clearly. The lighting focuses on her features, almost like a spotlight. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works.
