Arttu Sitting by the Fireplace 1909

Pekka Halonen’s 1909 drawing, “Arttu Sitting by the Fireplace,” depicts a man seated in a chair, his body turned away from the viewer, his head bowed in contemplation. The sketchy lines and light shading characteristic of Halonen’s style create a sense of intimacy and realism, emphasizing the subject’s quiet solitude. This portrait captures a moment of reflection, inviting viewers to contemplate the man’s thoughts and emotions.
