From the collection of Helsinki City Museum
Leo Mechelin (1839-1914) is a work by Maria Wiik, held at Helsinki City Museum.
The painting depicts a portrait of a man with a beard, wearing a suit and tie. He is facing to the right, with his head turned slightly towards the viewer. The background is a dark, muted color. The man's facial expression is serious, with a hint of a smile. His eyes are cast downward, giving the impression that he is lost in thought. The overall mood of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up "cross-hatching".
Maria Catharina Wiik (3 August 1853 – 19 June 1928) was a Finnish painter. She worked principally with still life, genre images, landscape paintings and portraits.
