A man in a cap and apron kneels on a stool, carefully shaping a large white lump of clay with his hands. Behind him, a red wall with wooden beams and a cluttered shelf hold odd objects—a vase, a small animal, and a wrapped bundle. Light falls on his work, leaving the rest of the room in softer shadow. The clay looks like it’s turning into a flower, but it’s hard to tell what exactly he’s making. The paint is thick in some spots, especially on the red wall, giving it a textured look. This painting is by Wahlroos, Dora.
