About the piece

Painted in 1888, Akseli Gallen-Kallela’s 'Démasquée' is a tour de force of late 19th-century realism. The work depicts a seated female nude in a studio environment cluttered with symbolic objects—a guitar, white lilies, and patterned textiles—rendered with confident brushwork and a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow.
