About the piece

Painted in 1917 by Tyko Sallinen, this portrait of Mrs. Kallio is a powerful example of early 20th-century Finnish Expressionism. The artist uses bold, directional brushwork and a cool-toned palette of indigo and violet to create a work of significant atmospheric depth and modern character.
