About the piece

Painted in 1901 by Magnus Enckell, this striking portrait depicts Mrs. E. Gadolin-Lagervall in a delicate white dress. The sitter's direct gaze and the open book in her hands suggest a poise and contemplative character, rendered with masterful brushwork that defines the texture of the lace and the luminosity of her features against a rich, atmospheric background.
