About the piece

Painted in 1910 by Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela during his travels in East Africa, this oil study depicts the majestic snow-capped peaks of Mount Kenya. The composition uses a soft, airy palette of periwinkle blues and crisp whites, masterfully translating the thin atmosphere of high altitude into a serene and contemplative scene.
