About the piece
Painted in 1885 by Victor Westerholm, this landscape sketch captures the quiet beauty of the Finnish countryside at Lemström. The composition uses the vertical rhythms of white birch trunks to frame a glimpse of water, rendered with the loose, atmospheric brushwork characteristic of late 19th-century plein-air studies.
