About the piece
Painted in 1866 by Karl Emanuel Jansson, this portrait captures the quiet dignity of a young sailor. The work is defined by its masterful use of color, contrasting the vibrant blue of the neckerchief and the red of the cap's pom-pom against a moody, dark background, characteristic of 19th-century Finnish realism.
