About the piece

Created in 1885, this drawing by renowned Finnish artist Helene Schjerfbeck depicts Harjun Paavo in a moment of quiet repose. The artist uses a delicate combination of dark lines and striking white highlights on warm, earthy paper to create a sense of depth and character that feels both grounded and atmospheric.
