About the piece

Created in 1853 by Finnish artist Anders Ekman, this delicate drawing depicts a young boy named Norrby-Kalle. Seated informally on the ground with a straw hat and simple vest, the subject is captured with a gentle realism that reflects mid-19th-century Scandinavian portraiture traditions.
