About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Tyko Sallinen, this portrait exemplifies the artist's raw, expressionist style. The subject, a young girl, is rendered with thick impasto and a bold palette of deep purples and electric blues, set against a highly textured background that emphasizes the modernist leanings of the Finnish National Gallery collection.
