About the piece
Painted in 1876 by Fredrik Ahlstedt, this oil on canvas portrait depicts the painter Gustaf Wilhelm Finnberg in profile. The subject's dark, high-collared coat contrasts with the warm, atmospheric background, while his artist's palette, just visible in the lower right, highlights his own creative legacy.
