Werner Holmbergin haudalla is an unspecified by Victor Westerholm, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows a quiet cemetery scene with tall trees framing the view. A few gravestones stand in the grass, some leaning or cracked. One person in dark clothes walks near the center, while another sits on a bench in the distance. The paint looks thick and textured, especially on the trees and sky. The brushstrokes are loose and uneven, giving the scene a rough, almost sketchy feel. The light hits the gravestones and trees in a way that makes some parts look brighter than others. Next, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
