About the piece

Painted in 1898, this intimate portrait by Finnish master Albert Edelfelt depicts his son, Erik Edelfelt. The work showcases Edelfelt's technical brilliance through the delicate rendering of light on the child's face and the bold, textural application of vibrant blue paint in the clothing, creating a striking contrast against the dark background.
