Under the Linden 1911

Helene Schjerfbeck's 1911 painting "Under the Linden" depicts a young woman, likely a portrait of the artist herself, seated in a relaxed pose. The soft, hazy palette and impressionistic style create a sense of tranquility and intimacy. The subject's dreamy gaze and delicate features evoke a sense of introspection, characteristic of Schjerfbeck's exploration of female identity and the passage of time.
