About the piece
Painted in 1897 by Finnish artist Eero Järnefelt, this gouache portrait captures his son, Heikki, in a moment of quiet reflection. The deep greens of the garden foliage and the soft red blossoms create a rich, atmospheric backdrop that beautifully contrasts with the boy's dark blue attire and delicate features.
