About the piece

Painted in 1913 by Finnish artist Jalmari Ruokokoski, this portrait of Yrjö Ramstedt is a masterful example of early 20th-century Northern European modernism. The work is characterized by its confident, visible brushstrokes and a muted, atmospheric palette that highlights the introspective nature of the subject.
