Pirtti 1901

"Pirtti" is a charcoal drawing by Finnish artist Albert Edelfelt, created in 1901. The artwork depicts a figure in profile, seemingly seated, with only the upper portion of their body visible. The drawing is characterized by its loose and expressive lines, capturing the essence of the subject rather than providing meticulous detail. The sketch-like quality of the work underscores its informal nature, perhaps a study or a personal observation by Edelfelt. The artist’s signature and the date are clearly visible in the lower right corner, adding historical context to the piece.
