Istuva pieni poika, veistos takaapäin 1877 - 1878

This pen-and-ink drawing, titled "Istuva pieni poika, veistos takaapäin" ("Sitting Small Boy, Sculpture From Behind"), was created by Helene Schjerfbeck between 1877 and 1878. The artwork depicts a young boy, seated and viewed from the back, with a simple yet expressive style. The artist was known for her mastery of line and her ability to capture the essence of her subjects. This drawing exemplifies Schjerfbeck's early work and her focus on capturing the human form in a contemplative and introspective manner.
