At the Window is a 1909 oil by Yrjö Ollila, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting depicts a woman sitting by a window, her face tilted slightly to the right. Her dark hair is pulled back, and she wears a black dress with her hands clasped together in front of her. The background is a soft, muted color, with the window's light casting a gentle glow on the woman's face. The woman's expression is contemplative, and her posture suggests a sense of quiet reflection. The overall mood of the painting is one of serenity and calmness. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume in an image, explore the works of Yrjö Ollila.
Yrjö Aleksanteri Ollila (20 July 1887, Helsinki – 14 November 1932, Helsinki) was a Finnish Impressionist painter, designer and muralist.
