About the piece

Painted in 1917, Tyko Sallinen’s 'The Tradesman’s Daughters' captures a quiet, intimate moment through a bold expressionist lens. The somber, cool-toned palette of blues and grays is balanced by the warm skin tones of the figures, whose downward gazes toward a small doll create a powerful sense of interiority and connection characteristic of early 20th-century Finnish modernism.
