About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Tyko Sallinen, this portrait captures the 'Girl from Riekkala' with the raw intensity characteristic of Finnish Expressionism. The work is defined by its thick application of paint and a striking contrast between the girl's pale lilac blouse and the deep, moody blues of the background.
