Taju 1923

"Taju" is a 1923 oil painting by Finnish artist Tyko Sallinen. The artwork features a young girl, likely a portrait of a young woman, with blonde hair and a blue dress, seated in a wooden chair. Her gaze is directed toward the viewer. The artist utilizes broad, expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette, characteristic of his style. The background is a bold purple with hints of red, creating a dramatic backdrop for the subject. This evocative portrayal of a young girl, through the lens of Sallinen's distinctive artistic style, exemplifies his mastery of capturing emotion and character.
