1890
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Lokakuun päivä Ahvenanmaalla is a 1890 unspecified by Victor Westerholm, a Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet forest edge by a lake. Tall birch trees with peeling white bark stand in the foreground, their branches bare or just starting to turn gold. A few cows graze in the grassy clearing, and the water in the background is calm, with a small dock jutting out. The sky is soft and pale, like a late-summer afternoon. The artist used light to show the texture of the bark and leaves, making some spots look almost glowing. The colors are muted but warm, with greens and browns blending together.
