About the piece

Painted in 1885, Victor Westerholm’s 'An October Day in Åland' showcases the artist's masterful ability to render Nordic light and atmosphere. The composition features characteristic silver birches in the foreground, framing a pastoral scene of grazing cattle by the water’s edge, evoking a sense of quiet rural harmony typical of the late 19th-century Finnish landscape tradition.
