About the piece
Created in 1902 by Albert Edelfelt, this oil sketch captures the presidents of the City Council of Viipuri. The work exemplifies the artist's ability to blend formal dignity with Impressionistic technique, using loose, energetic brushwork to define the sitters' features and the light reflecting off the documents on the table.
