About the piece

Painted in 1914 by Jalmari Ruokokoski, this portrait exemplifies the energy of early 20th-century Finnish Expressionism. The sitter’s contemplative gaze is framed by a dramatic black hat, punctuated by a luminous orange band that serves as a vibrant focal point against a moody, textured background.
